Slight offtopic. Did I understand right that there is a limit for 'Krankenkasse' monthly payment?

Where I live - there is no limit.

If your _payroll_ is ~1315eur, that means your _income_ is 1000eur, because you've paid (or employer did that for you):

- 15% income tax (~197eur),

- public health insurance 6% (~79eur),

- public retirement fund 3% (~40eur).

- employer pays 31.18% of the _payroll_ to public health insurance (~410eur).

Making the __whole employment price__ - 1726eur, of which 489eur goes to public health insurance. If your __income__ is 10 000eur - everything is tenfold.

I do not know nuances of self employment, but you pay less for the public health insurance. From 1726eur, you'd pay ~234eur for public health insurance and ~181eur income tax - leaving you with ~1311eur.
