Your net income
Quickly calculated with the salary calculator
Your performance.
Your income.
We all want to know how much we can expect to earn at our jobs.
But what’s the difference between a salary and a wage? And how much net income ends up in your account at the end of the month?
Our salary calculator has the answer.
Difference between wage and salary
The salary is paid monthly in the same amount, regardless of the number of working days in the month and the actual work performed. The salary may depend on the work performed, for example on the work performed in the case of piecework. This can result in the wages paid out changing each month.
Difference between gross and net income
Gross income is the wage/salary entitlement without statutory deductions (social security contributions, solidarity surcharge, wage tax, church tax). Net income is the amount actually paid out after these deductions.

Yes, you can use Trenkwalder's salary-calculator for free. It lets you calculate your estimated take-home pay and compare different figures.
How much of your gross salary remains as take-home pay depends on various factors. In addition to the amount of your income, factors such as tax deductions, children or the Family Bonus Plus, the commuter allowance, and other personal details can play a role. In the gross-to-net calculator, you can select the details that apply to you and calculate your take-home pay individually.
The salary calculator gives you a rough idea of what your net income will be based on a specific gross salary. Your gross salary is the most important factor when negotiating a salary. Other factors, such as work experience, qualifications, position, and location, also play a role.
The data in the salary calculator is updated regularly.
Your gross pay is your income before statutory deductions. Among other things, taxes and social security contributions are deducted from this amount. The amount that is actually paid out is your net pay.
Your tax bracket affects the amount of income tax withheld and, therefore, your take-home pay. That’s why, even with the same gross salary, your take-home pay can vary depending on your tax bracket.
Various taxes and social security contributions are deducted from your gross salary. These may include, among other things, income tax, church tax, and contributions to health, pension, long-term care, and unemployment insurance.
No. The calculated net income is for informational purposes only. The actual pay stub may differ from this result due to individual factors. Trenkwalder also notes on the current page that the calculation is provided without guarantee.
