Soli calculator: How much money you save
The solos have been history since 2021 – at least for around 90 percent of taxpayers. The federal government, on the other hand, continues to ask high earners to pay.
So the question for taxpayers is:
- Am I one of the 90 percent who will benefit from the discontinuation or do I have to keep paying?
The soli is generally 5.5 percent of corporate or income tax. Since 2021, the following applies to taxpayers: singles who pay less than 16,956 euros in income tax a year no longer have to pay solos. For taxpayers who are assessed together as a couple, the limit is higher: Anyone who pays income tax up to a maximum of EUR 33,912 per year has been exempt from the solo since 2021. Both limits also apply in 2022.
Anyone who is above the limits mentioned does not have to pay the full 5.5 percent solo immediately. The legislator has stipulated a smooth transition after exceeding the exemption limits.
Only singles who pay more than 31,527.56 euros in income tax have to shell out the full 5.5 percent. For couples, the amount is 63,055.13 euros. From these income tax amounts, your solos also reach 5.5 percent.
