Mini job

So-called mini-jobs or part-time jobs are gainful employment in which you earn no more than 520 euros per month. You are entitled to the statutory minimum wage. With the exception of pension insurance contributions, no social security contributions are paid. Your salary is also tax-free.

If you work in several mini-jobs at the same time, your total salary will be used to determine the extent to which contributions and taxes must be paid.

For example, if you have a mini-job alongside your studies and your earnings exceed the limit of 520 euros, you only pay pension insurance contributions if your studies continue to be your main occupation. You must have health insurance in any case.

Please note the relevant income limits if you have a mini-job as a pensioner or recipient of social benefits.
