Monthly poverty threshold in Germany 2007-2022
In 2022, a single person household would have to earn over 1,189 euros per month in order to be over the poverty threshold in Germany, according to preliminary figures. Since 2007, the amount of money people have to earn to be over the poverty line has increased, due to the fact that the cost of living also increases every year. 2018 was the first year in which a single person had to earn over 1,000 euros in order to be over the poverty risk threshold.
