EU Blue Card Salary Checker Germany 2026 and 2027

Enter your salary offer to see the result.

How the check works

2026 thresholds: €50,700 a year, or €45,934.20 for shortage occupations, recent graduates and IT specialists without a degree.
Expected 2027 thresholds: €53,100 and €48,108.60. The government confirms them in December.
The salary is the gross yearly amount in your contract. Bonuses that are not guaranteed usually do not count.
Below the threshold? The skilled worker visa may still work, with no fixed minimum salary under 45, if your qualification is recognised.
This tool is a first check, not legal advice. The German mission and the immigration office decide your case.
