It is NOT a Lohnabrechnung (payroll statement) and NOT a Sozialversicherungsbescheid. In particular, the Midijob calculation (Gleitzonenformel under § 20 Abs. 2 SGB IV) currently uses a simplified approximation — always verify binding values against the employer's official Lohnabrechnung. Caveats: Pauschsteuer 2% applies only without Lohnsteuerkarte; foreign-residency and DBA (double tax treaty) cases are not modeled; Faktorverfahren and Progressionsvorbehalt are not computed.
