Riester Pension Calculator
Calculate the government benefits that you will get from a German Riester pension in form of tax benefits & government subsidies (yearly bonus for adults and children).
How it works
Fill in a few conditions
First, you will be asked whether you are assessed for tax (Steuerliche Veranlagung) separately (getrennt) or jointly (zusammen) with your partner. Then your date of birth (Geburtsdatum) and your taxable income (Monatsbruttoentgelt) must be entered before you answer the questions about the number of children entitled to child benefit (Wieviele kindergeldberechtigte Kinder haben Sie?). For each child, you must enter the year of birth (Geburtsjahr Kind), the child allowance (Kinderfreibetrag) and the child benefit (Kindergeld). Then you must answer the question about church tax liability (Kirchensteuerpflicht) and enter which federal state (Bundesland) you are from. Finally, you have to specify the contribution optimization (Betragsoptimierung). You can choose between allowance-optimized (zulagenoptimiert), tax-optimized (steueroptimiert), and an individual contribution (individueller Beitrag).
