How to use this estimate

The rent total uses the midpoint of the selected city and housing range. Groceries, transport, utilities and personal spending are practical monthly allowances for one adult. Health and care insurance is shown separately only when gross salary is entered; it is part of the gross-to-net calculation and is not deducted twice. Net salary mode assumes statutory health coverage is already accounted for in the entered pay.

For an individualized payroll calculation, use the German Salary & Tax Calculator. Compare more places in our city cost guide.
