Bemessungszeitraum

The Bemessungszeitraum is the reference period whose income is used to calculate a benefit — for Elterngeld it is normally the 12 months before the birth. The chosen months decide how much you get, so check them carefully. Months with sickness or reduced pay can sometimes be excluded on request.

In plain German

Der Zeitraum, aus dem Ihr Einkommen für die Berechnung genommen wird.

فترة الاحتساب (Bemessungszeitraum) هي الفترة المرجعية التي يُؤخذ منها دخلك لحساب الإعانة — في إعانة الوالدين (Elterngeld) هي عادةً الاثنا عشر شهراً قبل الولادة. الأشهر المختارة تحدد كم ستحصل، فتحقق منها بعناية. يمكن أحياناً استبعاد أشهر المرض أو الراتب المنخفض بناءً على طلب.

As it appears in letters

Als Bemessungszeitraum werden die zwölf Kalendermonate vor dem Monat der Geburt Ihres Kindes zugrunde gelegt.
