Hi everyone,
In the last 6 months, I implemented an income tax calculator for Germany which includes several visualizations:

1. How much is deducted as taxes and social contributions,
2. What your salary would be in deferent tax classes (yes Germany got several of them, depending on, your marital status, are you single parent etc.),
3. How you gross salary compare to the rest of the full-time employees subject to social security contributions (valid for monthly gross incomes between 1000 and 6600Euros),
4. What would be you social contributions and tax rates for different gross salaries (e.g. if you get a pay rise),
5. How many employees are within a pay grade for a certain group (Gender, Age, Nationality, etc.).
   If you have any constructive feedback please share it with me.

The statistical data are released by the German statistical office.

Wow I really like your design. Especially the animations and graphs. I've seen similar sites before that weren't as good.

What did you code this in?

Backend: Python

Frontend: HTML/JavaScript/CSS

Plotting library: echarts, there are many examples which you can test out online.

Thank you I will for sure give that a try

Hi, I like your design and the simplicity. For the comparison of how many people earn more or less you linked to Arbeitsagentur, but I couldn't find the statistik you took your data from. My feeling is that you took the average income. But what is actually a lot more representative is the median, because of some peaks from high income CEOs that distort the whole data.

Why are there options for half children? I have a couple children. One of them seems like he's half here sometimes.

Solomon’s law. /s

:)) the second option is for child allowance, which can be share between parents. It has a small effect on the deducted taxes an social security contribution during the year.

Looks great but the two different greens are sometimes hard to distinguish. Especially on the switch like buttons.

Thank you for the feedback. Are you referring to the plot under the "Deductions from Gross Salary" section?

I mean Tax Year and Income Period. Both have different switches but only two values so it is not clear which value is set.

Right. Thank you.

Good job, I really like the different comparisons!

Would be interesting to see the implemention. Although I'm a native app guy it's always nice to broad my horizon :)

Really good, I like it, great work. One thing I would like to see is how tax changed through the years. Like you 3k gross, now it is 2200 net, but in 2019 it was 2150 net. Something like that.

Otherwise really good, I will share it around.

Thank you for the feedback.

Would you also adjust it for inflation?

It is just CSS. The graps is made with echarts. Just Google it. It is well documented and I find it pretty fast for small dataset.

Not sure tbh. Maybe not adjusting ,but put inflation rate over it.

Also, pie chart has 3 layers. I think that's a bit too much for an average Joe. I would go for a classic pie chart.

The salary comparisson does not work correctly. I tried several incomes and it didn't change

Hi. Thank you for the feedback. The salary comparison works between 1000 and €6600. Above €6600 there are no data. Around 11% of the full time emoloyees earns more than 6600€/month. So it looks like you belong to the top 11% ;)

Howering over the (i) icon will show further information.
