How to read the table
The trainee basic amount is one figure per group. This table has no experience stages of the kind a Besoldungsordnung A uses.
Legal status
The Landtag passed the Hessian Pay and Pension Adjustment Act 2026/2027 at second reading on 2 September 2026. Basic pay rises by 3.02% from 1 July 2026. A further 2.8% is provided from 1 October 2027.
This page shows the table from July 2026. The October 2027 table is not included here.
Example: A12
For A12, monthly basic pay from 1st July 2026 is 1,825.54 € at full-time. At 50 % working time that gives 912.77 €. Other pay components and taxes are not included in this example.
Who the table applies to
The table shows the monthly full-time trainee basic amount for the groups listed here. Basic pay for a Besoldungsgruppe, and pay under a collective agreement, are in their own tables.
What the table contains
The amounts are the monthly full-time trainee basic amount, gross. Supplements, allowances, taxes and contributions are not included.
Part-time
For part-time work the amount is calculated in proportion to the working-time share. For A12 that gives 1,460.43 € at 80 %, 1,369.16 € at 75 % and 912.77 € at 50 %. The calculator reduces this table amount only and does not adjust supplements or allowances automatically.
Other pay components
A pay statement contains more than basic pay. Family allowance, office and function allowances and other individual components are not in the table. Neither are deductions such as income tax and health and care insurance contributions. For this table the site shows gross basic pay and does not calculate a net figure.
Annual amount
This page shows monthly amounts, valid from 1st July 2026. Twelve times one monthly amount carries that rate across twelve months. Once the table changes during the year, that product is not the sum of the twelve actual months.

Frequently asked questions
Does the table show full basic pay for a Besoldungsgruppe?
No. It shows the trainee basic amount paid during training. Basic pay for a Besoldungsgruppe, and table pay under a collective agreement, are in their own tables.
Are the amounts gross or net?
They are gross amounts before taxes and contributions. No net figure is calculated for this table.
How do I calculate part-time pay?
Select a table value and enter your working-time share. The amount is then calculated proportionally. Supplements and allowances are not adjusted automatically.
Why is the monthly amount times 12 not always the annual amount?
Because the table can change during the year. Multiplying by twelve carries the month shown here across a full year. That is a projection.
