Frequently asked questions

Was passiert, wenn ich in einem Monat mehr als 556 € verdiene?
+

Gelegentliches Überschreiten ist erlaubt, solange dein Jahresdurchschnitt unter 556 €/Monat (= 6.672 €/Jahr) bleibt. Regelmäßiges Überschreiten wandelt den Minijob automatisch in eine sozialversicherungspflichtige Beschäftigung um.

Do I have to file a tax return?
+

No, the employer pays a flat tax. Your Minijob income doesn't show up in your personal tax return.

Am I health-insured as a Minijobber?
+

The Minijob itself doesn't provide health insurance. As a student you stay covered via family insurance (up to 25) or mandatory student insurance.
