TV-L 급여 계산기 2026

The collective agreement for the public service of the German federal states (TV-L) regulates salary, working hours, vacation, and special payments for employees of the federal states in Germany – with the exception of Hesse.

The TV-L was agreed on October 12, 2006 and has been regularly updated, most recently with changes from December 9, 2023. The TV-L is negotiated between the collective bargaining association of German states (TdL) and the trade unions ver.di, GEW, GdP, IG BAU, and dbb civil servants' association.

The TV-L applies to employees who are in an employment relationship with an employer that is a member of the collective bargaining association of German states (TdL).

Excluded from the scope are, among others: senior executives with individually agreed working conditions, employees earning more than pay group E 15, trainees, and marginally employed persons.

Calculate your TV-L salary in 3 steps: determine your pay group and experience level, enter your tax class and deductions, read the result.

1. Determine pay group and level (found in your employment contract). 2. Enter personal deductions – tax class (I to VI), church tax rate, child allowances. 3. Read the result – the calculator shows gross salary, net salary, and all deductions.

The TV-L calculator requires 7 inputs to correctly calculate net salary.

1. Pay group (E 1 to E 15). 2. Experience level (1-6). 3. Working hours (10-100%). 4. Tax class (I-VI). 5. Church tax (0%, 8%, or 9%). 6. Child allowances. 7. Health insurance additional contribution (average 2.9% in 2026).

TV-L rates are adjusted through collective bargaining negotiations, typically every 1 to 2 years.

The current agreement provides for 3 increases: +2.8% from April 2026, +2.0% from March 2027, and +1.0% from January 2028.
