EU Blue Card Salary Check for Germany

The EU Blue Card needs a recognised degree, a job that matches it, and a gross yearly salary above a threshold. There are two thresholds, and which one applies depends on your occupation and how recently you graduated.

Tell us about the offer to see which threshold applies and whether the salary meets it.

The two thresholds

The standard threshold applies to most roles. A lower threshold applies to shortage occupations, to people who graduated less than three years ago, and to IT specialists without a degree. At the lower threshold the Federal Employment Agency must approve the employment.
