What is the income limit for me in the case of marginal employment (geringfügige Beschäftigung)?

In the calendar year 2023, the monthly marginal income limit is € 500.91. It applies to employed activities ("unselbständige Tätigkeiten") and freelance service contracts ("freie Dienstverträge").

An annual limit of € 6,010.92 (2023) applies to income from work contracts ("Werkverträge").
