The official form: your details
For the form we need your federal state.
For the form, the calculator first needs your complete details and a plan.
An extra of the plan dossier, for everyone who applies on paper. The sample is free; the form without the imprint comes with the plan dossier.
The application form asks for more than the calculator needs: names, address, tax ID, health insurer, bank account. The calculator uses these details only to fill in the form on this device; they are not sent to us.
The months on the form (section 10) come from your plan on the result page.
This does not fit the form yet:
Notes about the form are in German, like the form itself.
