The threshold is updated every year and is lower for shortage occupations; planning is therefore based on the official figure for the year of application, not on a fixed number. We recommend setting the contract salary with a safe margin above it. A lower threshold applies to shortage occupations — IT, engineering, medicine and the natural sciences among them — and to recent graduates within three years of graduating; if you fall into either group, the planning room widens. We match the profile against the official lists for the year of application and position the contract salary on the safe side.
