Basaveswara Rao

Basaveswara Rao is an Information Security & Infrastructure Lead by profession. He moved to Germany in October 2019 and has spent the years since working through German bureaucracy, taxes, employment and everyday life as an immigrant himself, learning continuously along the way.

He built germany-tax-calculator.com to share that ongoing research: calculators and guides on German salary tax, unemployment and short-time work benefits, rental property tax and related topics, aimed at people going through the same process he has.

He writes for education, not as a substitute for professional tax or legal advice. Every figure on this site is checked against the underlying statute or official calculation method and cross-verified against the site's own calculation engine before it is published; the site's About page covers that process in more detail.
