For millions of families in Germany, Kindergeld is an essential financial support. However, the Kindergeld Auszahlung (child benefit payment) is not made to all recipients on the same day. Instead, it follows a structured system where the last digit of the Kindergeld number determines the payout date. Parents who want to know when the money will arrive in September 2025 should pay close attention to the official schedule.
Kindergeld Amount in 2025
Since January 2025, families receive 255 euros per child each month. Normally, Kindergeld is paid until the child turns 18. In special cases, such as during vocational training or university studies, payments can continue until the age of 25. Importantly, the money is not automatically transferred — parents must apply through the Familienkasse (family benefits office) to receive it.
Why the Kindergeld Number Matters
The Kindergeld Auszahlung depends on the final digit of the Kindergeld number, which parents can find on every official letter from the Familienkasse. A lower digit means an earlier payment date, while higher digits push the transfer toward mid or late in the month. For example, families with the final digit “0” receive payments at the start of the month, while those with the digit “9” often wait until the second half.
This staggered system helps the Federal Employment Agency process payments smoothly and avoid delays. Cash payments are not possible — all transfers go directly to the registered bank account.
Payout Dates in September 2025
The Kindergeld Auszahlung in September is especially important for many households, as back-to-school expenses and autumn activities often bring additional financial strain. The Federal Employment Agency has released the official payment dates:
- Final digit 0: September 3, 2025
- Final digit 1: September 5, 2025
- Final digit 2: September 8, 2025
- Final digit 3: September 10, 2025
- Final digit 4: September 11, 2025
- Final digit 5: September 15, 2025
- Final digit 6: September 16, 2025
- Final digit 7: September 17, 2025
- Final digit 8: September 18, 2025
- Final digit 9: September 19, 2025
With this schedule, families can easily track when their Kindergeld Auszahlung will arrive in September.
Extra Benefits for Families
In addition to the standard Kindergeld, families may qualify for a child supplement of up to 297 euros per child. This benefit is intended for low-income households and can be paid alongside the regular Kindergeld Auszahlung. However, just like the main benefit, an application is required to receive it.
What Parents Should Keep in Mind
- Apply on time: Without an application, no Kindergeld will be paid.
- Check your Kindergeld number: This determines your exact payment date.
- Update bank details promptly: Any changes must be reported to the Familienkasse immediately.
- Use additional benefits: The child supplement can ease financial pressure significantly.
Especially at the start of autumn, knowing the exact Kindergeld Auszahlung dates helps families plan their monthly budgets with confidence.
