Kindergeld payment dates for your last digit, amounts and a monthly reminder.
■ When does the Kindergeld arrive?
The Familienkasse pays in waves: the last digit of your Kindergeldnummer — the
Endziffer — decides which day of the month the transfer goes out. Digit 0 is paid at
the start of the month, digit 9 at the end.
You enter your last digit once. After that the home screen shows the next payment
date and how many days are left.
■ The dates live inside the app
No account, no sign-in, no server. The payment dates are bundled with the app, so it
works offline, in flight mode and with no signal.
It contains the dates officially published by the Familienkasse for 2026 and all of
2027. The app shows how far the stored dates reach. When new dates are published,
they arrive with the next update.
■ What it shows
● Next payment date for your last digit, with weekday and countdown
● Year overview for every month on record
● Amount for your household: number of children × €259
● Kindergeld 2026: €259 per child per month (€255 before)
● Kinderzuschlag: up to €297 per child per month, with the income thresholds
● Unterhaltsvorschuss: €227 / €299 / €394 by age group
● Kinderfreibetrag 2026: €9,756 per child
● How long Kindergeld runs: to 18, or to 25 in education or training
● One reminder a month — on the payment day, one day or three days before
■ What it does not do
● No applications. The Familienkasse handles those; the app links there and sends
nothing to any authority.
● No sign-in and no full Kindergeldnummer. Only the last digit is needed.
● No bank details and no access to your account.
■ Privacy
Only the last digit and the number of children are stored — on your device. Nothing
else is collected. The Google Mobile Ads SDK is included for advertising, and you can
change its settings inside the app at any time.
■ Note
This is not an official app and is not affiliated with the Bundesagentur für Arbeit
or the Familienkasse. All information without guarantee — your official notice is
what counts. The date shown is the transfer day; when your bank credits the money
depends on the bank. There is no legal entitlement to payment on a particular day of
the month.
