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.
