As a hired developer you usually get 30 days of holidays + 12 days (which is a bit more than 8 weeks). The year has 52 or 53 weeks, so you end at around 44 weeks instead of 48 weeks. That’s 123K€ per year.
Then you have to still subtract the days you are going to be sick (Google says 18.4 days on average per year) and the tile you need for administrative tasks.
If you work with a contract your workplace will pay half of your insurances in Germany, if you are self-employed you have to pay that yourself.

Do I understand correctly that "Google says" and you find credible that on average a person takes 18.4 sick days every year? That sounds high by at least an order of magnitude to me. Even if I took a day off every time I had a slight sore throat or a moderate hangover, I still wouldn't take more than 3-4 sick days a year most years.
- legulere 6y agoThere’s a lot of long term sickness that is skewing the average. For instance cancer or a herniated disk can keep you from working for pretty long. The source of the 18.4 days has a lot of further information, albeit in German: https://www.iwd.de/artikel/krankenstand-in-deutschland-498654/ https://www.iwd.de/artikel/krankenstand-in-deutschland-49865...
