The solidarity surcharge (Solidaritätszuschlag) adds 5.5% of the tax, giving an effective rate of 26.375%. The Sparer-Pauschbetrag allows the first €1,000 (single) or €2,000 (married) of investment income to be tax-free each year.
Tax is usually withheld at source by the bank or broker. Church tax (Kirchensteuer) may apply in some regions if you are registered with a recognized church; it is not included in this calculator.
Unlike the UK or US, Germany taxes investment income with a single flat rate (plus solidarity) and a fixed allowance (Sparer-Pauschbetrag), with no distinction between dividend bands.
