Net monthly pension after estimated income tax

Assumes the pension is your only income and you file as single (no Splittingtarif). Other income, marital status, or church tax will change this. Simplified tax approximation, not the exact BMF formula. For planning direction, not filing.

Fill in your birth year, retirement age, salary and career start to see an estimate.

This is a rough, simplified estimate, not an official forecast. It multiplies your accumulated pension points (Entgeltpunkte) by today's pension value (aktueller Rentenwert, €) and assumes a constant salary (adjusted only by any growth rate you enter) and a constant average wage. The net figures apply a flat 11.5% health and care deduction and a simplified, piecewise-linear approximation of the 2026 income tax tariff (§32a EStG), not the exact BMF formula. It does not account for future changes to the Rentenwert or average wage, contribution gaps, part-time periods, child-rearing credits (Kindererziehungszeiten), disability, the pension tax-free portion (Rentenfreibetrag), voluntary contributions, or deductions for retiring early. For real numbers, use your official Renteninformation from Deutsche Rentenversicherung.
