In 2025, we will once again have more net income. The partial abolition of so-called "cold progression" means that the income tax brackets from which the tax rate increases will rise. This will benefit both employees and pensioners.

Almost two billion euros will be "returned" to taxpayers immediately in the form of tax savings under the title "Abolition of cold progression". The "Krone" shows in clear graphics what this means in concrete terms for everyone and how much more employees and pensioners will actually have at the bottom line in 2025, depending on their level of pay.
