01Income

Income after work expenses, social insurance and other deductions. For a married couple assessed jointly, enter the couple's combined figure.

Assessment

Joint assessment (Zusammenveranlagung) uses the splitting tariff: twice the tax on half the couple's income.

Children who qualify for child benefit (Kindergeld). The child allowances always reduce the Soli and church tax; they reduce income tax only where they save more than the child benefit.

02Church tax

Church tax is 8% (Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg) or 9% (other states) of the income tax after child allowances.
