3There is a website to calculate TVöD and TVL Salaries: oeffentlicher-dienst.info/c/t/rechner/tv-l/…, looks like you would end up with aroun 1800 € net per month in the first year.– SursulaCommented May 25 at 16:21

1I already entered 65% and TVL 13, there is a table at the bottom that shows the salaries, with the tiers. If you just start you will be in tier 1, after 1 year in tier 2 and after 2 more in tier 3 and so on.– SursulaCommented May 25 at 16:23

1@JonCuster I meant the $25000 stipend in the US they are comparing to.– Bryan Krause ♦Commented May 25 at 17:52

1@RichaSarma You're sure about that? Typically stipends would be taxed in the US. It's possible yours is not due to an agreement with your home country.– Bryan Krause ♦Commented May 25 at 18:38

4Regarding the comparison to the offer in the United States: Please keep in mind that net salaries are hardly comparable between Germany and the US. In particular, the net salary in Germany is the number you get after health insurance and contributions to a pension plan have already been paid (although this pension plan comes with some caveats regarding how long you live in Germany).– Jochen GlueckCommented May 25 at 18:48

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
