## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, itemised German gross-to-net salary estimate that covers all German-specific deductions — Lohnsteuer, Solidaritätszuschlag, Kirchensteuer, and statutory social contributions — parameterised by Bundesland, Steuerklasse, and Kinderfreibeträge. It is ideal for personal finance planning, job offer evaluation, or payroll cost estimation in the German market. Prefer it over generic income tax calculators when German-specific tax classes and Bundesland-level church tax are required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid Bundesland code returns an error (must be a valid German state abbreviation like BY, NW, HH)
- tax_class outside 1-6 range causes a validation error
- Missing required fields such as gross_monthly or tax_class result in a 400 bad request
- Unsupported tax year may return an error if year is outside the calculator's supported range
- Non-positive gross_monthly values may cause computation errors
