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
A year has 52 weeks, so an average month has 52 ÷ 12 ≈ 4.33 weeks. The hourly wage is the monthly salary divided by weekly hours × 4.33.
The statutory minimum wage has been €13.90 gross per hour since 1 January 2026; on 1 January 2027 it rises to €14.60.
Frequently asked questions
Do annual leave and public holidays count?
Yes. Your monthly salary is also paid for days of leave and public holidays, so the calculation uses your contractual working hours rather than the hours you actually worked.
Does the minimum wage apply to mini-jobs?
Yes. The minimum wage also applies to mini-jobs. At €603 a month, that means at most around 43 hours.
