How Progressive Tax Works in Germany

In Germany, like many countries, the tax system is progressive. This means you don't pay the highest rate on all your income. Instead, you pay different rates on different portions of your income. For example:

  • 1You only pay 0% on the first €11,604
  • 2Then 14% on the next portion, and so on
  • 3The highest rate of 45% only applies to income above €277,825
