Inflation adjustment bonus

The inflation adjustment bonus is a tax-free bonus of up to EUR 3,000 payable by employers to employees, which can be paid in any form until the end of 2024. Employees can receive it as a regular additional payment or as a one-off payment. This bonus serves to mitigate the negative effects of increased inflation on employees’ purchasing power.

The inflation compensation premium is intended to help employees cope with the increased cost of living due to inflation. It is a financial benefit, in addition to the salary owed anyway, up to an amount of EUR 3,000, which exceeds the normal salary. The bonus can be paid free of taxes and duties in accordance with Section 3 No. 11 c) EStG, which makes it attractive for both employers and employees. It can be paid as a one-off payment or in varying installments by the employer. All employees are entitled to the bonus under tax law. However, it is a voluntary benefit paid by employers in addition to wages or salary, which they must grant voluntarily in order for it to be paid out.
