Gross-to-net estimate for Saxony
This page separates the nationwide calculation rules from what Saxony decides for itself. It claims no local distinction that the data set does not carry.
What changes with the federal state?
Exactly two figures. The estimate therefore keeps the workplace state as a separate assumption, so state-related treatment does not disappear inside a general default. Church tax is included only when you state that it applies.
- Church tax: 9.0% of the assessment base in Saxony, where a church-tax liability exists.
- 14 of the sixteen states levy this rate. Only Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria sit below it, at 8.0%.
- Care insurance: 2.3% from the employee and 1.3% from the employer — Saxony is the only state with an uneven split.
Both values come from the 2026 data set, last checked on July 27, 2026.
Why Saxony splits the care contribution differently
The total contribution here is 3.6% as well. It is carried 2.3% to 1.3% rather than 1.8% each: the half contribution point an employer pays elsewhere sits with the employee in Saxony.
The reason is the Buß- und Bettag. Saxony is the only state that never abolished the public holiday, and the permanent shift in the contribution rate is the compensation for it.
What remains governed nationally?
Everything else: the wage-tax schedule, the solidarity surcharge, the social-insurance contribution rates and the contribution ceilings. Tax class and contribution status remain personal inputs, not characteristics of Saxony.
Check before comparing
- Is Saxony the correct workplace state for this scenario?
- Does the church-tax input match your actual liability?
- Did you select your health fund instead of a reference value?
- Are parent status and children under 25 recorded separately?
States whose figures differ
There the estimate comes out differently under the same assumptions.
