Now, let's delve into the changes made to the care allowances. For children under the age of 6, the new allowance stands at €895 per month. For minors aged between 6 and 14 years, the allowance increases to €980 per month. For those aged 14 and above, the allowance rises further to €1131 per month.
It's important to note that these changes apply to households where the child is not living with their parents. The current care allowance for minors, known as Kindergeld, is a monthly payment of €255 per child in 2025. This amount, last increased at the start of 2025, serves as direct financial support for the costs of raising children, regardless of whether they live with parents, grandparents, or other relatives.
In addition to Kindergeld, there is a Kinderfreibetrag (child tax allowance) totaling €9,600 per child for jointly assessed couples, which includes €2,928 specifically for care, education, and training needs. However, families receive whichever benefit (Kindergeld or tax allowance) is more advantageous after annual tax assessment.
