Freelancer Duties & Salary in Germany

In Germany, a freelancer, known as a "Freiberufler," is a self-employed professional who offers specialized services to clients on a project basis. An interesting fact about freelancing in Germany is the country's robust economy and its position as a hub for technological innovation and engineering. Opportunities for freelancers exist in cities like Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg, particularly in fields such as software development, engineering, consulting, and creative arts.

The main duties of freelancers in Germany involve client acquisition, project management, and delivering exceptional results. They are responsible for prospecting and acquiring clients, preparing project proposals, negotiating contracts, and ensuring the successful completion of projects. Freelancers also handle administrative tasks such as invoicing, tax compliance, and maintaining client relationships.

Key skills required for freelancers in Germany include strong communication and networking abilities, self-motivation, adaptability, and technical expertise in the chosen field. Proficiency in German and English is advantageous for engaging with local and international clients. Relevant experience, supported by a strong portfolio and certifications if applicable, contribute to higher rates and increased opportunities.

The expected salary range for freelancers in Germany can vary depending on the industry and expertise. For instance, a freelance software developer in Berlin may charge between EUR 50 to EUR 100 per hour, while a freelance consultant in Munich could earn around EUR 70 to EUR 120 per hour. Rates may be influenced by factors such as the freelancer's reputation, demand for specialized services, and the complexity of the projects undertaken.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are gig workers verified? Can I trust them? arrow-right
All gig workers must be identity verified by Stripe when registering as a gig worker. This adds an additional level of trust to our platform. Because we offer a reputation service, you can also see all historical work conducted by the worker. This quickly builds trust within the marketplace, but also removes fraudsters and scammers. Any behaviour that breaches our platform standards results in those worker being removed from our platform.
Can I modify the gig in-flight if the scope and/or pricing needs to change? arrow-right
If the gig was set as negotiate, then yes. For fixed price, no. When replying to a fixed price, you are accepting the terms and price set out in the gig. For more information, see our help centre gig section. Please note, any changes you make to the gig are additional and any price is additional to what has already been paid.
Why should I use gigexchange? arrow-right
We are the only marketplace in the world offering all ways of working & advertising. Our services include the gig economy, conventional job advertisements, volunteering opportunities as well allowing you to promote and advertise your personal or business services. We are determined to drive down the cost of business. Increase opportunities for all. We call this empowering the win-win.
What is the difference between a gig and a job? arrow-right
A gig is a pre-defined task (or set of tasks) that has a specific expected outcome. On the gig exchange, it is FREE to list a gig under the services section. Services are fixed price or negotiable. Workers are selected based on services, availability, reputation & price. The money is withheld independently through our leading global Payment provider Stripe escrow account. Payment is only released upon satisfactory completion. Feedback is given by both parties to build marketplace reputation. A job is an advertisement listing the general requirements and services expected of a worker. Job advertisements are for permanent or contract based work (hourly rate).On the gig exchange, the job advertisements are FREE and listed under the Jobs section.
I can’t get hold of the gig lister or worker after the gig has started? arrow-right
If after repeated attempts to communicate with the gig lister or gig worker via the chat portal, please get in touch with us. We need to see attempts on the chat portal to act on this.
