What is “zvE” (zu versteuerndes Einkommen)?
zvE is your taxable income for German income tax purposes. It is the amount your income tax rate is applied to. It is not your gross salary and not your net salary.
It is calculated as:
Total income minus legally allowed deductions
What does it include?
Your zvE is based on:
1. Salary or business profit
2. Rental or investment income
3. Other taxable income
Minus deductions such as:
1. Social security contributions (pension, health, long-term care, unemployment insurance)
2. Work-related expenses (incl. employee lump sum)
3. Certain insurances and special expenses
4. Applicable tax allowances
How can you estimate your zvE?
If you are:
Employed: approx. 75–85% of your gross annual salary
Self-employed: approx. 70–85% of your annual business profit (after business expenses)
These are rough guidelines to help you estimate.
