Hello all,
I’m a student and working part time, received this salary slip.
Since I’m a part time employee I don’t want to pay pension fees and I also think they’ve put me in a higher tax class.
As far as I understood my actual salary was 2509,92€ and after deductions it is 1.676,19€ (I might be wrong) please help me understand this salary slip since I’m unable to wrap my head around it.
Thank you in advance.

    For September, yes.

    For August its the more thorough calculation above (1.970,53 € and 1.676,19 €)

    Well you have to; also not a fee. Its an insurance

    > and I also think they’ve put me in a higher tax class

    No they didnt.

  2. >I don’t want to pay pension fees

    I don’t think you have a choice there…

    >and I also think they’ve put me in a higher tax class

    Which class are you in and which class do you think you should be? That will only determine the tax deductions on your payslip and not the final ones during the year, as long as you do your tax declaration. Your tax class is something you have to settle with your tax office.

    The deductions, for a single person making this much during the year, do make sense.

  3. It is not optional to pay or not to pay. If you leave Germany within 5 years, you can request it from state. You seem to be in Tax Class I, which is normal for you. Your gross salary is 1937,39, and you got some extras, total of 33,14.
