What €3,000 means in tax class v
At €3,000 gross a month your employer withholds €625.66 wage tax in tax class v, which is 20.9% of gross. Married employees whose partner is in class III. Class V uses the special procedure for classes V and VI (14% minimum, difference method), which does not apply the basic allowance the way classes I to IV do; it takes effect for the partner in class III: €333 more wage tax a month than class I.
Social contributions: pension insurance €279.00, unemployment insurance €39.00, health insurance €262.50, care insurance €72.00, €652.50 in total (21.8% of gross). No ceiling applies yet: health and care insurance end at €5,812.50 a month, pension and unemployment insurance at €8,450.
No solidarity surcharge here: annual wage tax is below the €20,350 exemption. Church tax payers give a further €50.05 a month (8% in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria) or €56.30 (9% elsewhere).
Of the next €100 of gross about €49 reaches you: wage tax, surcharge and contributions take 51.4% together. Overall 42.6% of gross goes to tax and contributions, leaving €1,721.84 a month and €20,662 a year.
Wage tax is an advance on income tax and is credited when the annual return is assessed (the BMF's own calculator says so). The tax class therefore mostly shifts when the money leaves your pay, not necessarily how much you keep over the year. The €652.50 of social contributions a month builds your pension, unemployment benefit and health cover.
