About SteuKompass

SteuKompass is a fast, privacy-first quick check for Germany. In a few minutes you get an explainable estimate of whether a refund or an extra payment is more likely.

Why we’re building this

Many people skip filing because the first step feels confusing and time-consuming. We make the entry step simple: quickly check if it’s worth it, then decide the next action with confidence.

How it works

1) Enter only the key numbers
Gross income and a few values from your wage tax statement, plus high-impact factors like commute or childcare.
2) Get a range, not fake precision
We return a plausible range (min/mid/max) and short notes explaining what drives the estimate the most.
3) Choose the next step
If it looks worth it, continue with a tax app or professional help. If not, you saved time.

Transparency and trust

Privacy-first

The quick check works without an account. We don’t store names in runs. Email is optional and processed separately (double opt-in).

Not tax advice

SteuKompass is a precheck. Final taxes depend on many factors and are determined by the tax office.

Our goal is to give you realistic guidance without overwhelming you with unnecessary details. See the privacy policy for more.
