10 frequently asked questions answered.

As of January 2026, Kindergeld is a flat rate of 259 EUR per child per month (Steuerfortentwicklungsgesetz, 01.01.2026). This applies equally to all children regardless of birth order.
Kindergeld is generally paid until the child turns 18. Beyond that, until the 25th birthday if the child is still in vocational training or studying.
Elterngeld is 67% of the average monthly net income before birth. If net income exceeds 1,200 EUR, the rate drops to 65%. The minimum is 300 EUR, the maximum is 1,800 EUR per month.
Standard Elterngeld (Basiselterngeld) gives you the full amount for 12 months (plus 2 partner months). ElterngeldPlus gives half the amount but for twice as long – up to 28 months. ElterngeldPlus is particularly suitable if you work part-time after birth.
Kinderzuschlag is for families who have earned income but would need Burgergeld (social welfare) without the supplement. The minimum income threshold is 900 EUR for couples and 600 EUR for single parents. The maximum Kinderzuschlag is 297 EUR per child per month (2026).
Unterhaltsvorschuss is a state benefit for children living with a single parent who receive no or insufficient maintenance from the other parent. It is paid until the child's 18th birthday and amounts to 227 EUR (0-5 yrs), 299 EUR (6-11 yrs) or 394 EUR (12-17 yrs) per month (2026 figures).
Yes, Kindergeld and Kinderzuschlag can be received simultaneously. Kinderzuschlag is a supplementary benefit for low-income families, paid alongside Kindergeld.
Elterngeld itself is tax-free but is subject to the progression clause (Progressionsvorbehalt). This means it increases the tax rate on other income. At low taxable incomes, this often has little or no practical impact.
Kindergeld is applied for at the Familienkasse of the Bundesagentur fur Arbeit. Elterngeld at the Elterngeldstelle of your federal state. Kinderzuschlag at the Familienkasse. Unterhaltsvorschuss at the local Jugendamt.
