Iâll do the full-cost calculation to show why this can only be for part-time: Starting point: http://www.brutto-netto-rechner.info/gehalt/gehaltsrechner-arbeitgeber.php Iâll use that throughout. 28k$ are 24357â¬. With 1700⬠per month gross income per month you get a full-cost of 24,378.62⬠per year and an effective gross income of 20,400.00â¬. But only 1,199.76⬠net income per month, or 14,397.10⬠per year. You divide that by the number of productive hours per year¹. For a 40 hour week, thatâs 1664 hours. That gives you a net income of 8.65⬠per hour. Your gross income would be just 12.26⬠per hour â the minimum wage (gross income) in Germany is at 8.50⬠per hour. The standard wage for beginning software developers (no job experience!) in Germany is about 42k gross², about 25⬠per hour, twice as high. The total cost for the company is about 50k⬠per year in wages, which is 1200⬠per week. The net income for software developers without job experience is about 25.5k⬠per year, 2123⬠per month, 15.30⬠per hour. If youâre self employed, you have to also pay the part normally paid by the employer, so you must bill using the total cost, not the gross income. So now you know how I got my numbers.
