Kinderzuschlag

Kinderzuschlag is a supplement of up to 297 EUR (2026) per child per month for working parents whose income covers their own needs but not their children’s. It is paid on top of Kindergeld and often prevents the need for Bürgergeld; it also unlocks education benefits (Bildung und Teilhabe) and exemption from daycare fees. Apply at the Familienkasse — it is granted for 6 months at a time, so reapply on time.

In plain German

Extra-Geld für Familien, die arbeiten, aber wenig verdienen.
