About this app

The developer's US App Store description, in full.

German Tax Estimator 2026 is an estimation tool for the German Einkommensteuer (income tax) and related taxes for tax year 2026. The app reproduces the §32a EStG tariff in the version following the Steuerfortentwicklungsgesetz, with Grundfreibetrag EUR 12,348 and zone end-values 17,799 / 69,878 / 277,825. The Splittingtarif for married couples and registered partners follows the standard procedure tarif(zvE/2) x 2. The Solidaritaetszuschlag (solidarity surcharge) module computes 5.5% on the assessed income tax and reflects the Milderungszone defined by the Solidaritaetszuschlagsgesetz. Kirchensteuer (church tax) is shown at 8% (Bavaria, Baden-Wuerttemberg) or 9% (other German Laender). Additional modules cover a freelancer estimate, a Gewerbesteuer approximation including Hebesatz, capital gains tax on interest and dividend income (with Sparer-Pauschbetrag), value-added tax (VAT 19% and reduced 7%), and Grunderwerbsteuer (real-estate transfer tax) with state-specific rates. Designed for an international audience working with the German tax system: - International workers in Germany verifying a Steuerbescheid before signing off on it. - Foreign HR managers running German payroll and double-checking expected withholding. - US, UK and EU relocators who want to understand the §32a tariff and zones. - EU expats married in Germany comparing Splittingtarif against single assessment. - Freelancers and contractors planning quarterly Vorauszahlungen with their German Finanzamt. Methodology and sources: the app references publicly available material from the Bundesministerium der Finanzen (BMF), the German Finanzaemter, the Einkommensteuergesetz (EStG) including §32a, the Solidaritaetszuschlagsgesetz, the Kirchensteuer laws of the German Laender, and the Grunderwerbsteuer laws of the federal states. Decisions of the Bundesfinanzhof (BFH) are reflected as background but are not cited per case in the app. Premium feature (lifetime): PDF export of the calculation with a source note for personal records. What the app is not: it is not a Steuerbescheid, not a binding document for the Finanzamt, and not a replacement for a Steuerberater or Lohnsteuerhilfeverein. Calculations follow the general tariff formulas; deductible business expenses, individual Werbungskosten, extraordinary income (§34 EStG, Fuenftelregelung), loss carryforwards, Progressionsvorbehalt on wage-replacement benefits, and foreign-tax credits cannot be fully reproduced inside a general estimation tool. Privacy and ads: ATT consent and advertising consent are handled via Google UMP. The app does not collect personal tax data externally. Calculations run locally on the device. Independent informational tool. Not affiliated with BMF, German Finanzaemter, or any government body. Does not constitute legal or tax advice - consult a German Steuerberater or Rechtsanwalt qualified for your case. (c) 2026 Cosmic Production d.o.o.
