Abfindungsrechner 2026

About

AbfindungsRechner 2026 helps English-speaking users estimate German severance outcomes before a negotiation, a termination agreement (Aufhebungsvertrag), a tax appointment or a conversation with the German employment agency (Agentur für Arbeit). The app focuses on the German severance, tax and social-security context: • estimate a typical severance from salary and years of service, using the standard 0.5 monthly gross per year reference from German labour-court practice (BAG) • compare gross severance with estimated net severance • model the German one-fifth rule (Fünftelregelung) under Section 34 (1) EStG with the calculation steps shown • break down a termination-agreement total from remaining salary, vacation compensation, overtime and severance • review ALG I, blocking-period (Sperrzeit, §159 SGB III) and suspension-period (Ruhezeit, §158 SGB III) risk indicators • compare payout-timing scenarios across two tax years (December vs. January) • keep calculation history on device • export structured PDF reports with the Fünftelregelung steps for consultation and personal documentation Who is it for? • employees who just received notice or a separation offer • works-council members supporting colleagues • international professionals on a German contract reviewing an Aufhebungsvertrag • anyone preparing a meeting with a German tax advisor or labour lawyer Why this app? German severance can look simple as a gross number but become much more complex once income tax, church tax, solidarity surcharge, payout timing, remaining salary, vacation compensation and possible ALG I consequences come in. This calculator shows the main variables side by side so you can prepare sharper questions before signing or seeking advice.
