If you are self-employed as an artist or journalist and are insured with the Künstlersozialkasse or entitled to a subsidy, you can change your income estimate submitted to the Künstlersozialkasse at any time. 

By submitting a new income estimate, you can adjust your contribution amount to your new situation. 

Please note the following when changing your income estimate: 


  • Always state your income estimate in full euro amounts.
  • If you are expecting a loss, enter EUR 0 as your expected annual income.
  • Changes to the income estimate are possible both upwards and downwards.
  • Changes to the income estimate are possible several times a year.

As a rule, a change to your income estimate will affect the calculation of contributions from the month following receipt of the notification.

								    

									    Requirements
  • You must currently be subject to compulsory insurance via the Artists' Social Insurance Fund.
  • The expected income from your artistic or journalistic activity has changed.
