We cannot say exactly how much in taxes you have to pay, but we estimate that if you also have permanent employment at a company or hospital, you will be able to keep around 80% of your self-employed income. If you want to calculate your exact tax burden, we recommend you use a website specialised for this purpose or consult a payroll tax association (Lohnsteuerverein).
