What income allowances apply?

From 1 July 2023, the following shall apply:

Those who work more may also keep more of it: In the case of employment with an income between 520 and 1.000 Euro, 30 percent (instead of 20 percent so far) of it may be kept.
Young people are allowed to keep income from pupil and student jobs and income from vocational training up to the mini-job limit (currently 520 Euro). Income from pupil jobs during the holidays is not taken into account at all.
Those performing federal voluntary service (Bundesfreiwilligendienst) and FSJ also benefit from the increased allowances, as well as young people in the transitional period between school and vocational training.
Voluntary commitment is more strongly appreciated. Expense allowances are considered annually, as in tax law. This means that expense allowances are not taken into account as income as long as they do not exceed the annual allowance of 3.000 Euro.
