Feature detail
Why teams choose Steuerrechner 2026
Core income tax
The 2026 tariff, faithfully reproduced
The income tax module follows the current §32a structure so the estimate lines up with the real tariff rather than a rough approximation.
- Grundfreibetrag of 12,348 euro with zone end-values 17,799 / 69,878 / 277,825
- Splittingtarif for married couples and registered partners
- Solidarity surcharge at 5.5% with the Milderungszone
Church tax and beyond
More than a single income figure
The app covers the surrounding taxes that change the picture for workers, freelancers, and property buyers.
- Church tax at 8% in Bavaria and Baden-Wuerttemberg, 9% elsewhere
- Freelancer estimate and a Gewerbesteuer approximation with Hebesatz
- Capital gains tax with the Sparer-Pauschbetrag
VAT and property
Cover the transactions, not just the salary
Additional modules help when the question is about a sale, a service, or a property purchase rather than wages.
- VAT at 19% and the reduced 7% rate
- Grunderwerbsteuer with state-specific rates
- PDF export of the calculation with a source note in Premium

Questions people ask before downloading Steuerrechner 2026

What does Premium add?

Bigger workflow
If this app opens up a bigger problem
The app may solve a concrete job immediately. If it exposes a larger operational, web, or content problem behind it, these are the closest practical routes.
Operational systems
If the workflow behind the app reveals manual steps, approval layers, tool sprawl, or operational debt, this is where it becomes a real system.
Web platforms
If this direction points toward a portal, stronger web layer, SEO surface area, or client-facing interface, this is the closest next route.
