In part-time your gross rises linearly with your hours, but your net doesn't quite: around the Midijob transition you pay disproportionately more in contributions as you add hours. Here's how much of each extra step stays net:
From around a 84% position you're above the Midijob ceiling (€2,000 gross): up to there each extra hour pays off least, above it more of the next euro stays net. There's no true maximum, more hours always mean more net.
Working more pays off least around a 80% position: of what you earn extra from more hours there, only about 52% reaches your net.
Calculated for your selected pay group and step, from 10% up to full-time. Includes the Midijob transition zone with reduced contributions; individual allowances are not included.

With the gross-net calculator you can run any gross salary and see your marginal burden: how much of the next euro reaches your net.
