Hourly to Salary Conversion
What the Salary Doesn't Tell You

Berechnung

Monatsgehalt = Stundenlohn × 174 (40h × 4,35). 20 €/h = 3.480 € brutto/Monat. Jahresgehalt mit Weihnachtsgeld: × 12,5-13. Netto (StKl I): ~2.200-2.400 €/Monat.

Vergleich

Angestellter bekommt zusaetzlich: AG-Anteil SV (~20%), bezahlten Urlaub (30 Tage), Lohnfortzahlung bei Krankheit. Ein Angestellter mit 20 €/h entspricht ~28-32 €/h als Freelancer.
