In the new year, many employees will receive a higher net salary.
The reason are legal changes in taxes.
We show how much money you can expect.
A look at the payroll can definitely be worthwhile these days: changes in taxes wash a small increase in wages into the wallet of millions of employees.
More salary *, without any salary negotiation * - that should please many.
Legal changes bring more net income
Above all, the
increase in the basic tax-free allowance
brings many employees more net income.
Adjustments to the assessment ceiling for pension and unemployment insurance will also have a positive effect on net salaries in 2022.

Single parents in particular benefit from tax breaks
The accounting specialist DATEV has determined which employees will be affected most by the tax changes. Regardless of the tax bracket,
employees in the middle and higher salary brackets
benefit in particular . “The increase in the basic tax-free allowance is most noticeable for them. In the group of singles, for example, employees with an income of EUR 7,500 or more are the biggest winners. You have 304 euros more available over the year, ”said DATEV. In the middle salary bracket, the plus is much less: A single with an average gross earnings of 3,500 euros per month bring the changes to only 97 euros net per year.
Above all, the group of
single parents
benefits from the tax breaks across all tax brackets and salary levels.
For you, the increased tax exemption of 4,008 euros will automatically be taken into account in your wages and salaries from 2022 onwards.
In particular, high-earning single parents with a gross monthly income of EUR 7,500 or more can look forward to a plus of EUR 1,323 net per year.

Married children without children can expect more deductions
In general, according to DATEV, the tax relief in 2022 will be significantly lower than in previous years, as the health insurance and child allowances have remained stable.
Many
married childless people will even have to
expect slight deductions of 18 to 24 euros per year on their pay slip in 2022.
The reason for this is the increase in the childless surcharge for long-term care insurance, which in the lower income brackets up to a monthly salary of 2,000 euros allows the net to shrink slightly.
By the way, these are currently the best-paid professions in Germany.
