Indian Expat Tax Calculator
Five free calculators for Indians filing in Germany — DTAA, mid-year arrival, joint filing, and more.
Mid-Year Arrival Refund Calculator
Arrived in Germany partway through 2025? You probably get a bigger refund than you think — the full Grundfreibetrag applies even to a partial year.
From your contract — the calculator pro-rates this to your German period.
From your Lohnsteuerbescheinigung, line 4 (“Einbehaltene Lohnsteuer”).
💡 Why is your refund so large?
You arrived on 1.9.2025 and earned 20.055 € in Germany. But Germany gives you the FULL tax-free allowance of 12.096 € — as if you lived here all year. This is why mid-year arrivals often see a larger refund than full-year residents on the same gross salary.
