Everything you need for your expense claim
Made for anyone working under German or Austrian tax rules – including expats. A simple screen on top, the complicated rules underneath.
Two sets of rules
German meal allowance (§ 9 (4a) EStG) and Austrian per diem (§ 26 no. 4 EStG) – two separate engines, not “Germany with different rates”.
Domestic & abroad
Official foreign rates for around 180 countries, including separate rates for cities such as London, New York, Paris or Sydney.
Provided meals
Breakfast, lunch and dinner deducted correctly – in Germany from the full daily rate, in Austria under Austria’s own rules.
Border & flight timing
Under Austrian rules the foreign rate starts at the border or on take-off – the app splits domestic and foreign time for you.
Every euro explained
Day-by-day breakdown with a “Why?” explanation and the official source and rule year – easy to check and to hand in.
Private & offline
No account, no GPS, no ads, no tracking. Your trips stay on your iPhone.
How it looks
Destination, start, end, meals – done.
TagegeldRechner Pro
Your first five calculations are free. Pro unlocks unlimited calculations and saves you the paperwork:
- Save trips & trip history
- Repeat recurring trips with one tap
- PDF export for your expense claim
- CSV export for accounting and tax advisers
Deliberately focused
TagegeldRechner calculates the tax meal allowances and per diems – nothing else. Not included:
- Hotel and accommodation costs
- Travel, flight and mileage costs
- Receipt scanning
- Entitlements under collective agreements or employment contracts
- Payroll
- Full travel expense management
The results are a guide only and are not tax or legal advice. They are based on the official rates stored in the app (Germany: Federal Ministry of Finance; Austria: Income Tax Act and foreign rates for federal employees).
