Health insurance comparison in Germany: how to choose your Krankenkasse<\/h2>\n

The German public health system (GKV) has more than 90 Krankenkassen<\/strong>. All of them cover the same basic medical services regulated by law, but they differ in monthly cost<\/strong>, additional services and quality of customer support. That is why it pays to compare before choosing the best Krankenkasse in Germany for your situation.<\/p>\n

Our health insurance comparison tool for Germany<\/strong> shows you instantly how much you would pay with each Krankenkasse based on your gross monthly salary. The contribution is calculated on your salary and split 50\/50 between you and your employer: the general GKV rate is 14.6%, to which each insurer adds its own Zusatzbeitrag<\/strong>. That additional percentage is what makes the price difference between one Krankenkasse and another.<\/p>\n

Beyond comparing prices, on this page you will find a detailed analysis of the main Krankenkassen<\/strong> (TK, DAK, BARMER, IKK Classic, SBK and AOK) with their advantages, weak points, coverage and ideal profile.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Krankenkassen comparison 2026<\/h2>\n

Enter your gross monthly salary and instantly calculate how much you would pay with each insurer. The rate shown reflects only the employee's share<\/strong> (your employer pays the same amount).<\/p>\n\n

\u26a0\ufe0f<\/div>\n
\n You are in the Midijob range (603.01 \u20ac \u2013 2,000 \u20ac).<\/strong>\n

In this range, thanks to the \u00dcbergangsbereich<\/em> rule, your real contribution as an employee is lower<\/strong> than what the comparison shows: the figures below are a maximum reference. The exact calculation uses a progressive formula that reduces your share and increases your employer's. If you want to know your real contribution, ask us with no obligation<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
