We're not the only ones who find this helpful.

Really helpful service for anyone dealing with Elterngeld in Germany. The free tools were already incredibly useful, and when I had questions, I could always get help quickly. The whole process felt much less complicated thanks to Elterngeld Help. Thank you again 🙏

I had a couple of questions that I couldn't really find answers to online. Sent them over and got a helpful answer pretty quickly. That was probably the most useful part for me.

We had a slightly unusual situation because of our income and I didn't want to rely on a generic calculator. We booked a consultation and went through everything together. I came away feeling much more confident about the application.
