Cost of Living in Frankfurt

Hey all ,

I'm having an offer with 77K Euros gross , it is ok to live with this in Frankfurt ? and how much is the Taxes in Frankfurt ?

I plan to relocate from London to Frankfurt on an annual gross salary of 100k euros. I have a family of 5 (3 kids). Will this amount be enough for us, as we will be paying school fees for the children to attend bilingual schools since we can't speak German.
Please advice me.

I will be shifting alone to frankfurt in april and my per month salary will be 2200€ after taxes.
Whether it will be enough to lead a average lifestyle there.

I am married with no children and my wife doesn't have work. How much is my net pay for 65k pa. I heard there is a church tax, does everyone have to pay church tax even if non-German citizen but Catholic, Jew or Protestant?

Hi Dido,
it is quite impossible to answer your questions without knowing your educational background, your language proficiency in German and your country of origin. These matters will all play a role under which conditions you will be admitted to a University in Germany.
You will find relevant information at these websites:

You can check the relevant conditions for your country of origin at

In principle I consider your budget somewhat on the short side, especially if you may not be allowed to work (depending on your country of origin).

My personal estimation for the gross salaries p.a. (before tax and social expense) in Frankfurt (for having a decent life of course).
I would put these in 4 categories:
absolute minim/OK/good/super

Single Person:
40k/50k/65k/80k

Couple without children (total earnings of both):
50k/65k/80k/100k

Couple with 1 child (total earnings of both), excl. Kindergeld:
65k/80k/100k/120k

Add 15k for each additional child to each category.

Hi ,my name is hemant singh,and I want to job in Frankfurt (Germany)_can u give me salary's detail in any work.?

Alex:

Gera is far away from Frankfurt. Are you sure? Only a one-way ticket Frankfurt-Gera should be around 70 Euros.
With 33 Euros Daily Budget, it doesn't look good, isn't it?
Depends of course how often you'll travel.

If you buy your food in the supermarket, it will be sufficient.
Dinners in restaurants and clubbing will not fit in this budget I suppose.

I am graduating my Ph.D. in biochemistry. Looking for a job in Bio/Pharma industry. What salary should I expect?

Hi Lenny Stein,
I give you some information based on the latest official figures for 2014.
Gross Salary EUR 60,000 - Taxable Income EUR 51,334 - Income Tax for Single Person EUR 13,326 - Solidarity Tax EUR 732 - Net Income before Deductions for Social Security EUR 45,942
The following contributions for Social Security are to be borne by employees, employers are charged nearly the same amounts in addition.
Deductions for Pension Fund (9.45% of Gross Salary) EUR 5,670 - for Unemployment Insurance (1.5% of Gross Salary) EUR 900 - for Health Insurance (8.2% capped at EUR 48,600) EUR 3,985 - for Surcharge for Persons without Children (0.25% capped at EUR 48,600) EUR 122 - for Insurance for Care (1.025% capped at EUR 48,600) EUR 498
Net Income after above Deductions EUR 34,767
Taxes on Income increase progressively. Therefore a Gross Salary of EUR 70,000 (Taxable Income of EUR 60,785) means Income Tax for a Single Person of EUR 17,290 plus Soldarity Tax of EUR 950
With a Net Income of EUR 34,767 per annum i.e. EUR 2,897 per month for a single person you can enjoy a comfortable though not very wealthy standard of living.
Enjoy you stay in Germany.

I wanted to know what the average taxes are? I understand the more you make, your taxes are higher. But If I were to make around 60K before taxes. How much taxes will they take, how much will i bring home? I am single

Thank you all. have a great day
Lenny

Hi Sultani,

The salary may vary a lot - mainly depending on the company (big international banks pay more than small local companies), the position and your skills.

Around 45-50k should be the minimum, above 60k is realistic only for senior positions. Managers can go far above 100k.

Also expect having hard times finding an affordable acomodation.

Hope this helps.
