Germany social insurance

Sozialversicherungsbeiträge: contribution payment and Beitragsnachweis deadline

Schema requires a fixed day-of-month; the actual legal rule (§23 Abs. 1 SGB IV) is the third-to-last bank working day of the SAME month in which the work was performed (an estimate, trued up the following month), which moves with bank holidays and weekends. Day 28 approximates this for September 2026; always confirm the exact date with your payroll provider or Krankenkasse each month. The Beitragsnachweis (contribution statement) itself is due even earlier, typically two bank working days before the payment date.
