Ok, well since I am paying their contribution, this is an interesting situation. It is good to know I should be insured for the brutto salary, not the 48K, so I will ask what is going on. (The reason I am paying all the employers contributions is complex, but has to do with me being paid by the EU through the University).

Hmm, if by health insurance you mean Krankenkasse/Maladie insurance then I am not in a good situation, as the 31% does not include any health insurance, only pension, tax, unfall etc.
6) Aha, thanks, I am glad I now know how that works!
