FAQ
What is the Fünftelregelung?
The Abfindung is spread over five years for tariff purposes: tax = 5 × [ESt(zvE + Abfindung/5) − ESt(zvE)]. That softens progression.
Why is withholding still high at payout?
Since 2025 employers often no longer apply § 34 at payroll. You claim the relief in the tax return.
Which income should I enter?
Remaining taxable annual income without the Abfindung — not monthly gross alone. It is an approximation from the tax return.
Is this binding?
No. It is an estimate without checking Zusammenballung. Your tax assessment is authoritative.
Note: Simplified § 34 estimate. Not tax advice.
