The results are non-binding estimates for guidance only and do not replace tax, legal or investment advice. What counts are your payslip, your tax assessment (Steuerbescheid) and the terms of your contracts.

How it is calculated

What needs covering is the chosen share of your net income, minus any existing benefits. Health and long-term care insurance and, where applicable, taxes are later deducted from an occupational disability pension.

The statutory reduced earning capacity pension (Erwerbsminderungsrente) is usually considerably lower than your income and is not linked to your occupation.

Frequently asked questions

What affects the premium?

Occupation, age at entry, state of health, pension amount and term. Health questions should be answered fully and carefully.
