Cost of German health insurance

The cost of public health insurance is a percentage of your income. The cost of private health insurance depends on your age and health condition when you sign up.

How to pay for your health insurance

If you are an employee, health insurance is automatically deducted from your paychecks.

If you are self-employed, you pay by SEPA transfer every month. If you give your health insurer a direct debit authorisation, the payments are automatic.
