Currently, kununu records around 2 million salary data points across approximately 46,000 companies, steadily growing. Based on this, we can deliver salary information and rankings for more than 900 job roles.
As you can imagine, we do not have the same amount of data for each profession and company. The more salary data we feed into our salary ranges, the more precise our average salaries and salary information become. Transparency is very important to kununu, which is why we openly and sincerely communicate the number of data points available for each profession. Next to our salary ranges, you will find an indication of whether the data amount for the searched job is low, medium, or high. 
The displayed salary ranges are intended to represent the most common salaries. Outliers, both high and low, are not included. Deviations from the actual salaries paid may occur.

Whether it's underground parking garages, skyscrapers, bridges, tunnels or hydropower plants - as a civil engineer, you are responsible for ensuring that structures are functional and meet all safety standards. You oversee the entire project, from conception and planning to construction, inspection, and commissioning. Efficiency, functionality, environmental protection, and noise reduction are just a few of the factors you need to consider. Your salary should reflect the responsibility you carry.

The salary information comes from kununu users just like yourself. Over 2 million users have already shared their salary data anonymously with us on kununu. This enables us to offer our service for free to kununu users and contribute to making the working world more transparent. kununu only displays salary ranges when there are multiple salary data submissions, never individual salaries.

The displayed salary ranges represent an estimate of the gross annual salaries for comparable positions, including potential variable components, for full-time employees. To calculate the average salary, we use various statistical methods. Furthermore, we do not view salary in isolation, but place it in an overall context, combining it with data from the industry, work experience, and managerial responsibilities.

As a civil engineer, you earn an average annual salary of [avg_salary] euros gross. This amounts to approximately [avg_salary_monthly] euros per month. From this, taxes and social contributions still need to be deducted. The final salary amount of your income can be calculated using any gross-to-net calculator.

<ul>
<li>Career prospects</li>
<li>Work experience</li>
<li>Specialization</li>
<li>Degree</li>
<li>Managerial responsibility</li>
<li>Self-employment</li>
<li>State</li>
<li>Industry</li>
</ul>

How much you can earn as a certified civil engineer depends on the type of degree you hold. To become a civil engineer, you need to successfully graduate from a university or a university of applied sciences. With a bachelor's degree, the starting salary will typically be lower in the industry, whereas with a master's degree or diploma, it's higher.
kununu users report that the starting salary is at least [min_salary] euros gross. The majority of civil engineers earn between [3_years_most_submissions_low] and [3_years_most_submissions_high] euros at the beginning of their careers. At least [3_years_2nd_most_submissions_percentage] start with salaries ranging from [3_years_2nd_most_submissions_low] to [3_years_2nd_most_submissions_high]. As you gain more work experience, your salary will increase as well. The majority of civil engineers with 10 or more years of experience earn between [10_years_most_submissions_low] and [10_years_most_submissions_high].
By the way, if you choose a dual study program, you'll already be working as a civil engineer during your studies. This allows you to gain practical experience and start earning alongside your studies.

You will already specialize during your studies. As a civil engineer:in you can work in the following areas of construction: 
<ul>
<li>Building construction</li>
<li>Civil engineering</li>
<li>Road construction</li>
<li>Bridge construction</li>
</ul>
Whether you are a structural engineer, structural designer or civil engineer -your earnings vary depending on your specialization.

Our kununu data shows a clear East-West divide in salary opportunities for civil engineers: In the east of Germany, the average salary is lower than in the west. The lowest-paid salaries are in [bundesland_lowest], with an average of [salary_lowest] euros gross per year. The highest-paid civil engineers are in [bundesland_highest], where the average gross annual salary is [salary_highest] euros.

Industries that, according to kununu users, pay especially well for civil engineers are currently [industry_highest] with an average annual income of [salary_highest] euros, and [industry_2nd_highest] with [salary_2nd_highest] euros. The lowest-paying industry is [industry_lowest], where the salary is [amount_below_average] euros below the cross-industry average of [average_salary] euros.

In small companies, there is often more flexibility in salary negotiations compared to large companies, where all salaries follow strict formalized rules. As a result, there is a higher risk of significant gender pay gaps in small companies.

Larger companies tend to pay higher wages for everyone. Additionally, they often have formalized salary structures, leaving little room for flexibility in salary negotiation. The gender pay gap is therefore usually smaller here.

Training

The pay gap is greater at higher levels of education.

Nevertheless, pursuing an academic education still pays off: The higher the degree, the better the average career and earnings prospects.

Women still earn significantly less than men, depsite having the same qualifications.

Education is still worthwhile - the higher the degree, the better the average career and earnings prospects.

Unfortunately, we do not have enough data.

Male supervisors are less likely to actively address the gender pay gap and are often unaware of the inequalities. This contributes to the persistence of the gender pay gap.

Female supervisors are usually more committed to promoting gender equality in the workplace than male supervisors. If your supervisor holds a high position with (budget) responsibilities, this could likely contribute to less pay discrimination against women. Regardless, it's important to discuss this topic with your supervisor.

Managerial responsibility

The guidelines and rules in many professions are shaped by male-dominated structures. And these outdated structures need to be restructured.

When women are in leadership positions, more women tend to work there and receive more support.

Women earn significantly less than men, despite having the same qualifications and in leadership positions.

However, female leaders have the ability to analyze pay structures, adjust salaries, and advocate for more transparent and fair rules to prevent unjustified pay gaps from persisting.

Last salary demand

Women negotiate their salaries less often than men and tend to avoid direct salary negotiations with their managers. However, the good news is that women's negotiation skills are not weaker than men's. Entering negotiations, for everyone, often pays off.

Satisfied with your salary?

With a gross-to-net calculator, you can calculate your net salary, which is the actual amount of money you’ll have in your account at the end of the month after all tax deductions. This is based on your gross salary and a few details about you and your tax status.The calculated amount is an estimate and may vary based on individual factors. However, the calculation is usually very accurate if all provided information is correct, giving you a realistic estimate of your net income. Especially with an upcoming salary negotiation, it is crucial to ensure that the net amount you aim for is realistic and that you haven’t overestimated it, so you don’t end up receiving less than you deserve or need to cover your monthly fixed costs. <a href="https://news.kununu.com/gehalt-wie-viel-verlangen/">Learn how much salary you can ask for</a> on kununu News.

What does a gross-to-net calculator do? 

With kununu's salary calculator, you can uncover how much will be deducted and what’s left from your gross salary. We'll guide you step by step:

How to use the Gross-to-Net Calculator for Germany

<h3>Step 1: Chosse the tax year</h3>

Do you want to calculate your net income for this year? Or look back and compare your current net salary to previous years? On the right side of the gross-to-net calculator, you can choose the tax year you're interested in.

<h3>Step 2: Gross to net or net to gross?</h3>
 
Although calculating net salary based on gross income is the common use of the salary calculator, there may be times when you're already aware of your net salary and want to calculate your gross salary. Especially before salary negotiations, it can be useful to know the net amount you need for your living expenses and enter it into the calculator to determine the ideal gross salary. Our salary calculator also works as a net-to-gross calculator. Simply choose the calculation you'd like to perform on the right side and you're ready to go.

<h3>Step 3: Enter your monthly salary</h3>
 
Your employment contract will list your annual income, while your payslip shows the monthly amount. Whether you're thinking of the annual or monthly amount, you can enter either in the kununu salary calculator. Just make sure you select the correct field, or else you might end up calculating a much higher or much lower salary.

<h3>Step 4: Enter your tax details</h3>

Your tax class, state of residence, and year of birth can impact the amount of income tax as well as other charges, such as church tax. Whether you pay church tax, or if you have children, you should also enter that information in the salary calculator.

<h3>Step 5: Enter your pension and insurance contributions</h3>

If you have private health or pension insurance, your deductions from the gross salary will be lower, and you'll receive a higher net salary. With our gross-to-net calculator, you can enter accurate information about your insurance status.

<h3>Step 6: Calculate your net salary</h3>
 
That's it! Now, on the right side of the salary calculator, you can see your net salary, which remains after deductions from your gross salary. All deductions, including various taxes and social contributions, are clearly broken down for you.

Follow the steps to calculate your net salary

https://www.kununu.com/de/insights?forms=gehalt&rfr=internal_grossnetcalculator_2023

Knowing what you take home after all deductions is good. But how do you know if your salary is fair? On kununu, you can find out how much you can typically earn in your profession. Simply share your salary anonymously and compare it with others.

The wage tax is a part of the income tax and is automatically withheld from your salary. The amount of the wage tax depends on your gross income, tax class, and other factors. The income tax is calculated as part of the <a href="https://news.kununu.com/steuererklaerung/">annual tax return</a>, based on your total income.

What is the difference between income tax and wage tax?

The tax class is determined based on your personal life situation and influences the amount of income tax required to pay monthly. There are different tax classes that can be chosen based on factors such as marital status, number of children, etc. You can usually find your tax class on your payslip or in your last tax return. A <a href="https://news.kununu.com/steuerklassen/">overview of all tax classes is available on kununu News</a>.

What are the different tax classes and to which do I belong to?

Taxes are deducted from your gross salary, which are divided as follows:

<ul> 
<li>Income tax</li> 
<li>Solidarity surcharge</li> 
<li>Church tax</li> 
</ul>

In addition to taxes, social security contributions are deducted from your salary. These typically account for about 20 percent of your gross salary. Your employer pays the same amount on your behalf into the system. These contributions serve your future security and help finance the social security system in Germany. In the kununu salary calculator, all your contributions are broken down separately:

<ul> 
<li>Pension insurance (18.6%)</li> 
<li>Unemployment insurance (2.6%)</li> 
<li>Health insurance (14.6%)</li> 
<li>Nursing care insurance (2.05%)</li> 
</ul>

What is deducted from the gross salary?

The social security contributions deducted from your gross salary consist of various components. KV, RV, ALV, and PV are abbreviations for:
<ul>
KV = health insurance (Krankenversicherung)
RV = pension insurance (Rentenversicherung)
ALV = unemployment insurance (Arbeitslosenversicherung)
PV = nursing care insurance (Pflegeversicherung) 
</ul>

What do the insurance contributions KV, RV, ALV, and PV mean?

The church tax is paid only by members of certain religious communities. The rate varies by state and is typically 8% or 9% of your income tax. Of course, only those affiliated with a tax-collecting religious community pay this tax. That's why kununu's gross-to-net calculator asks whether you're required to pay church tax.

What is the church tax and how much is it?

The state in which you work or live is important for calculating your net income, as it can impact church tax and social security contributions. These can vary depending on the state: For instance, the church tax in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg is only 8 percent, while in the remaining states, it is 9 percent.

How does your state affect your gross-to-net salary calculation?

The solidarity surcharge was introduced to finance the reconstruction of the new federal states after the reunification of Germany. Since January 1st, 2021, only individuals with a taxable income of more than 61,717 euros per year are required to pay the solidarity surcharge.

What is the solidarity surcharge and who needs to pay it?

A tax allowance is an amount up to which you don't have to pay income tax. TThe tax allowance is regulated annually by the government and can vary depending on personal circumstances. In Germany, for employees in 2023, the tax allowance is 10,908 euros.

The Gender Pay Gap is more than just a statistic: these numbers reflect the reality of many women in the world of work. Behind every figure is a personal story, unequal treatment, and a call to actively address this inequality. The sooner we understand that these challenges are not meant to be faced alone, the more effectively we can drive the changes needed. Let’s work together for a world where equality and equal opportunities are not just goals, but a lived reality.

You're not alone


Many companies lack clear salary structures. Stand up for their implementation. Be sure to discuss salary matters with your colleagues and engage in networks and professional associations for women. These exchanges of experience with others who are overcoming similar challenges not only provide moral support but also valuable insights into successful strategies for salary negotiation and career development.
