Düsseldorfer Tabelle 2026

NOT A GOVERNMENT APP This app is a private product and is not affiliated with any public authority, court or other government body. It does not represent any government organisation and is not an official service of the Oberlandesgericht Düsseldorf. The calculation is non-binding guidance and is not legal advice. SOURCE OF THE OFFICIAL FIGURES All table amounts, retention amounts and notes are taken from the Düsseldorfer Tabelle published by the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court (Oberlandesgericht Düsseldorf). The official versions: All years https://www.olg-duesseldorf.nrw.de/infos/Duesseldorfer_Tabelle/ Düsseldorfer Tabelle valid from 01.01.2026 https://www.olg-duesseldorf.nrw.de/infos/Duesseldorfer_Tabelle/Tabelle-2026/index.php 2026 table as PDF https://www.olg-duesseldorf.nrw.de/infos/Duesseldorfer_Tabelle/Tabelle-2026/DT_2026.pdf NRW maintenance guidelines 2026 as PDF https://www.olg-duesseldorf.nrw.de/infos/Duesseldorfer_Tabelle/Tabelle-2026/Leitlinien-NRW-2026.pdf In case of any discrepancy, the court's official version prevails. WHAT THE APP IS FOR How much child support is my child entitled to? Enter your net income and the children; the app shows the table amount and the amount actually payable per child – along with every step of the calculation and every note behind it. WHAT IT CALCULATES • Adjusted net income – work-related expenses, other deductions, housing benefit in kind • Income bracket, including the shift for the number of dependants • Bedarfskontrollbetrag and the resulting downgrade • Table amount per child by age band • Kindergeld offset – half for minors, in full for adult children • Selbstbehalt (the minimum the paying parent keeps) • Shortfall cases, distributed proportionally • Adult children living at home and students with their own household EVERY YEAR FROM 2008 TO 2026 The 2026 rates are preselected. For backdated claims and older orders you pick the year and calculate with the rates that applied then. New table values arrive from the server, so the app uses the new rates immediately at the turn of the year. PDF FOR YOUR LAWYER, THE JUGENDAMT OR THE COURT Every result can be exported as a PDF with the full calculation and the source reference. Share it by e-mail or messenger, or print it. The PDF is always in German, even if you use the app in English – because that is the language of the authority reading it. THREE LANGUAGES German, Turkish, English. The legal terms stay German, because that is what they are called in the proceedings; the explanations are in your language. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU Income and details about the children are stored on your device, not with us. Only the figures are sent for the calculation – no names, no storage. No account, no sign-up. WHAT THE APP DOES NOT COVER Additional or special needs, shared-custody arrangements, cross-border cases and unusual debt situations. For binding information consult a family law solicitor or the Jugendamt, where advice is free of charge.
