The planned tax reform is set to arrive in two stages from 2027. Here's our estimate of the 2028 full build compared with today:
Enter your gross salary above and we'll estimate what the reform means for you.
What's planned:
Rough estimate. The reform is politically agreed, but the law with the exact figures is still pending (expected autumn 2026). We model the planned 2028 full build from the known corner values; the actual numbers may differ. Your social contributions stay the same.
Of every extra euro of gross pay, less and less reaches your net, because taxes and contributions grow with it. Only above the contribution ceilings does that reverse. Here's what's left of the next step:
Working more pays off least around 8.000 € a month: of the next €100 gross, only about 47 € reaches your net there.
The dashed lines are the 2026 contribution ceilings: above €5,812 gross per month no more health and long-term care contributions apply, above €8,450 no more pension and unemployment contributions, each only on the portion above. That's why more of the next euro stays net there.
Included: the Midijob transition zone (€603 to €2,000) with reduced employee contributions. Not included: individual allowances on your tax card and the pension contribution in minijobs below €603.
All figures are a non-binding estimate for the 2026 tax year and do not constitute tax advice. Your actual net pay may differ depending on your health insurer, allowances and personal situation.
