Germany distance-allowance scenario
Explore the commuting deduction using verified rules for your tax year and travel arrangement. Distance rates can change, so the example is not a current-rate promise.
Your inputs
Start with the example values, then replace them with your own. For tables, keep the vertical bar separators and use a dot for decimals.
Illustrative inputs are not certified current rates or an entitlement decision. Confirm the country, year, eligibility and contract. This limited model is not a tax return, payroll service or financial/legal advice. Do not act on it without verifying the applicable rules.

How it works
Apply separate per-kilometre amounts below and above the entered boundary, multiply by eligible days, then apply any cap. The marginal effect is calculated only on the amount above the entered already-covered allowance. Actual deductible costs, special transport rules and other employee expenses may change the tax effect.
Worked example
These sample results use the original example inputs in the form. They do not change when you edit your inputs; your own result appears in the workspace.
- Distance deduction before cap: 1960
- Modeled deductible amount: 1960
- Marginal tax effect estimate: 219
Read the result carefully
Results depend on the values and assumptions shown above. Change one input at a time to see its effect. A blank or unavailable result means the data does not support a calculation; it is not zero.
