Understanding Your Germany Tax on €100,000
When you earn €100,000 in Germany, your income is taxed progressively through multiple brackets. This means not all your income is taxed at the same rate — lower portions are taxed at lower rates, and only the income above each threshold is taxed at the higher rate.
The effective tax rate (total tax divided by gross income) is always lower than your marginal rate (the rate applied to your last dollar of income). Use the calculator above to see both rates.
In addition to income tax, Germany applies social contributions (such as pension, health, unemployment, and care insurance) which reduce your take-home pay beyond just income tax.
