Reform-Rechner: Wie viel Netto bleibt Ihnen 2027 vom Gehalt?
Profitieren Sie vom Reformpaket der Bundesregierung, oder stehen Sie schlechter da als vorher? Das Handelsblatt zeigt für Singles, Ehepaare und Eltern, wie sich das Nettogehalt 2027 verändert.
Based on calculations by the Handelsblatt financial expert Frank Hechtner, the 2027 net income from your salary will be significantly affected by the planned reforms in Germany. The reforms include tax and social security changes that will impact your bank account in 2027. While many will benefit from tax relief under the tax reform, higher social contributions will offset these gains, especially for those with higher incomes.
The Reform-Rechner created by the Handelsblatt allows you to see how your net salary in 2027 will develop based on your gross income, number of children, and marital status. Your net salary will either increase or decrease depending on these factors.
Key factors influencing your net salary include:
- The level of your gross income
- The number of children you have
- Whether you are married or not
The reforms will result in higher contribution ceilings for social insurance in 2027, requiring higher social contributions for those with higher incomes. However, the tax relief provided by the tax reform may not fully offset these higher contributions, particularly for those earning more.
Interestingly, single individuals without children will receive little relief from the reforms, only benefiting if their gross income is between €1,500 and €5,750 per month, resulting in a net monthly increase of €8 to €34.
Families, on the other hand, tend to benefit more from the reforms. A couple with two children, each earning €4,000, will see an additional €416 per month. If one partner earns €6,000 and the other €4,000, the benefit increases to €272. Unmarried parents with a gross income of up to €6,000 per month will also see benefits from the reforms.
The reform calculations only considered families with up to two children, with higher net benefits expected for larger families due to increased child benefits. However, high earners will still face a significant decrease in net salary, with Hechtner predicting that those earning €8,850 per month will need to pay €1,491 more in social contributions in 2027 compared to previous years.
