What is the income limit for me in the case of marginal employment (geringfügige Beschäftigung)?
In the calendar year 2025, the monthly marginal income limit is 551,10 €. It applies to employed activities ("unselbständige Tätigkeiten") and freelance service contracts ("freie Dienstverträge").
For income from service vouchers ("Dienstleistungsschecks"), the monthly marginal income limit is 755,01 € (2025).
An annual limit of 6.613,20 € (2025) applies to income from work contracts ("Werkverträge").
