Tax deductions after changing tax class

September 6, 2010 | 20,00 EUR | answered by Michael Herrmann

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am an employee and currently receive a gross monthly salary of 3500.00 euros. I am currently in tax class I and pay church tax in NRW.
I am soon getting married and would like to know how my tax deductions or net salary will change if I switch to tax class III with a child allowance of 1.5.

Best regards

Michael Herrmann

Due to the change in tax class from tax class I to tax class III, the tax deductions decrease from 677.26 € (income tax, church tax, solidarity surcharge) to 369.45 €. As a result, the net salary increases by 307.81 €.
