Duplicate of What is a "TV-L 13" position? | |
| May 26 at 14:13 | comment | added | Dirk | From my experience with living in Germany and the US, the 1.800€/mon(after taxes and insurances) will allow for a more comfortable life that 25.000$/year (even if there won't e any deductions). | |
| May 26 at 7:23 | comment | added | Richa Sarma | I got it now. Thank you, you guys have been really helpful, especially @Sursula. Another thing not related to academia exactly my USA visa J1 was rejected around 5 years back, so I was particularly skeptical about USA. You guys made the decision easier. Now another matter will be declining the USA offer politely as the professor really went to different lengths to get me accepted. | |

| May 25 at 22:11 | comment | added | Sursula | @RichaSarma the calculator shows the correct numbers for today, the link to the old answer also has general information that might be helpful. Also, as an added note, do keep in mind cost of living when making a decision, in many places in the US it is more expensive to live compared to Germany. | |

| May 25 at 18:48 | comment | added | Jochen Glueck | Regarding 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). | |
| May 25 at 18:43 | comment | added | Jochen Glueck | "I am not understanding what I am getting wrong." You're ignoring more than 10 years of inflation. The numbers from the linked answer are from 2013. Still, the answer contains all the relevant information - in particular, the link to the "Öffentlicher Dienst"-calculator. | |
| May 25 at 18:38 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | @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. | |
| May 25 at 18:10 | comment | added | Richa Sarma | @BryanKrause In USA 25000USD stipend is tax free. and cost of living in that particular city is well within 1000 dollars per month as I enquired from a labmate. | |
| May 25 at 18:08 | comment | added | Richa Sarma | @Sursula the link was not helpful as the commentor has written it TVLE-13 2/3 approx 1300euro, while the calculator is showing 1800 euros. I am not understanding what I am getting wrong. | |
| May 25 at 17:52 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | @JonCuster I meant the $25000 stipend in the US they are comparing to. | |
| May 25 at 17:20 | comment | added | Jon Custer | @BryanKrause - IRS Publication 54 (irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p54.pdf) suggests at first glance that up to $120,000 in foreign earned income could be excluded. | |
| May 25 at 17:13 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | @JonCuster Why $120k? | |
| May 25 at 16:56 | comment | added | Jon Custer | @BryanKrause - seems unlikely their stipend will exceed $120,000. They will need to file a 1040 but are unlikely to owe anything to the US. | |

| May 25 at 16:23 | comment | added | Sursula | I 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. | |
| May 25 at 16:21 | comment | added | Sursula | There 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. | |
| May 25 at 16:11 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | You'll also owe tax on your US stipend, so don't forget to calculate that as well. | |
| May 25 at 16:09 | comment | added | user176372 | I kinda think the personal finance stack is a better target for this. | |
