What salary do I need for a German EU Blue Card?

The Blue Card requires your job to pay at least a minimum gross annual salary that the German authorities set and update each year. A lower threshold applies to shortage occupations and, under recent rules, to new labour-market entrants who graduated recently.

Because the exact figures change annually, confirm the current thresholds on the official source before relying on a specific number. Your contract salary, not just the offer, must meet the applicable threshold for your category.
