As you know we are not a payroll provider, but we aim to be more accurate than one would model in Excel. To transparently show the calculation behind the social security estimate, we have added a new tab to the employee page that explains the social security calculation for that employee given a year.
Our social security calculation handles:
- For Germany the calculation is based on the year's actual rules (thresholds, rates, employment type etc)
- We generally exclude social security for external freelancers
- Supporting multiple countries
- We consider partial years and switching contracts
While we were on it, we have also added the German social security rules for 2026.
