How the net pay is derived
Civil servants pay no contributions to statutory pension, unemployment, health, or long-term care insurance. So essentially only income tax (and possibly the solidarity surcharge) is deducted from gross pay. For A 8 at the top step this gives an estimated €3,083 net at tax class I.
Instead of statutory health insurance, civil servants are privately insured (PKV). The employer covers part of the cost via Beihilfe — in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania under the standard regime. The individual PKV premium is not deducted here; use the calculator for that.
