TVöD VKA covers employees of municipalities (Städte, Gemeinden, Landkreise), municipal enterprises, savings banks (Sparkassen use TVöD-S), welfare associations and other VKA member organisations. It is Germany's most widely applied public-sector collective agreement.
As with all TVöD employees, VKA staff contribute to the VBL supplementary pension. The employee contribution rate is 1.81 % (VBL West) or 1.81 % (VBL East/Ost) of gross pay. The calculator shows both the statutory social security deductions and the VBL contribution.
VKA and Bund tables share identical pay grades (E 1–E 15) but different amounts. TVöD Bund (federal) generally pays slightly more. Collective agreements are negotiated separately: VKA between VKA and ver.di/dbb, Bund between federal government and the unions.
The Entgeltordnung (TVöD-AT Anlage 1) assigns roles to grades. As a rule of thumb: simple tasks E 2–4, skilled work E 5–8, work requiring a degree E 9a or 9b, complex specialist tasks E 10–12, highly complex or management tasks E 13–15. Your employer assigns the grade based on your actual duties.
Part-time pay is simply the full-time rate multiplied by your part-time percentage. The standard full-time week under TVöD VKA is 39 hours. Enter your actual hours per week in the calculator and it will automatically compute the correct percentage and resulting net pay.
The Jahressonderzahlung is paid in November each year. From 2026 the rates are 95 % of one monthly gross pay for E 1–8, 90 % for E 9a–12 and 75 % for E 13+. The annual overview in the calculator estimates your total annual net including this payment.
