Salary statement / payslip / payroll – Certified Translation

Get a certified translation of your salary statement / payslip / paycheck

Do you need a German certified translation of a foreign language (e.g. English, French, Italian, Chinese or Arabic) payslip or salary statement? Or do you need to have your German payslip / salary statement officially translated into a foreign language such as English, Turkish or Portuguese? Then you have come to the right place.

What is a payslip?

Your salary statement (payslip, earnings statement, etc.) provides information about your gross pay and all deductions such as:

• Income tax
• Social security contributions (pension insurance, unemployment insurance, long-term care insurance, health insurance)
• Church tax
• Solidarity contribution

The result of gross income minus taxes and contributions is your net income. You will receive the payslip from your employer and it should be kept if possible, as the proof will be needed again and again.

When is a certified translation of a payslip needed?

Certified translations of a salary statement are most often needed due to a professional activity abroad or after emigration. Common reasons are:

• The pension insurance company requires a certified translation of your pay stub in order to track your social security contributions.
• You want to submit an application to authorities for which you need to prove a salary as an employee.
• You need a loan for a property and you need to prove your income for it.
