As with most countries, taxes are automatically deducted through payroll from a team member’s gross salary each month. The tax amount is determined by German law and depends both on the gross salary (progressive tax system) and personal factors, such as marital status and affiliation to a German state church.

In addition to salary, the IPC provides each team member with statutory social security benefits, which include medical insurance, unemployment insurance, accident insurance (on the way to and from work and during work) and a retirement pension. General public health and dental care for required and emergency procedures are included in the medical insurance through payroll and do not have to be paid separately by the employee. The contributions to the various insurances are based on the gross monthly salary (20-21% - the IPC covers about half of this).
