What is it?
A Lohnabrechnung (pay stub) is a document from the company you work for. It shows how your pay was calculated for one month. It includes, for example:
- your gross and net pay
- your Steuerklasse (tax class)
- deductions for taxes and social security
Where can I get it?
You get your Lohnabrechnung from your employer. You usually receive it every month with your pay, either by email or through an online portal. Some employers only give you a pay stub when something changes in your pay. Ask your employer if you are not sure.
What does it look like?
A Lohnabrechnung is usually a paper document or a PDF file. It includes your name, the month, your gross and net pay, and your deductions.
