The integrated calculator

When entering data, totals or percentages are often required.

To help you calculate these quickly and directly, Lohnsteuer kompakt includes an integrated calculator.

There's no need to open an external application: calculations can be performed directly in the programme, and the calculated value is transferred to the relevant field in the tax return with a click.

This saves time and reduces input errors.
