Minijob limit from October 2022 is linked to the minimum wage. At €12.82/hour minimum wage (Jan 2025), the monthly limit is €556. Employees are automatically enrolled in pension insurance but can opt out (Befreiungsantrag). Earnings above €556/month create a Midijob.
What is the Minijob-Rechner?
A Minijob (geringfügige Beschäftigung) is a part-time job where earnings do not exceed €556/month in 2025. Employees pay no income tax or health insurance contributions (covered by employer flat-rate). The employer pays around 30% in flat-rate pension (15%), health (13%), and tax (2%) contributions on top of the wage. Employees are enrolled in pension insurance by default but can opt out.
Formula
Employee net = Earnings − employee pension (~3.6% unless opted out). Employer cost = Earnings × ~30% flat rate on top.- E
- = Monthly earnings (≤ €556)
- r_pension
- = 3.6% employee pension (if not opted out)
