How Much Are Migrants Costing German Taxpayers?
The alarming figures have just been released, and it turns out that those migrants, a great many of them Muslims from the Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey, now cost German taxpayers 43 billion dollars a year.
More on this vertiginous cost can be found here: “$43 Billion Per Year Burden: Migration Costs Hammer German Taxpayers,” by Robert Semonsen, Gateway Pundit, May 27, 2026:
Germany is facing a staggering migration bill exceeding €40 billion (approximately $43 billion) a year, with critics warning that the true cost of mass immigration is now placing unsustainable pressure on the country’s economy and social systems.
While official figures often highlight federal spending, the full picture is far more alarming. Once regional and municipal costs are included, the total burden rises well beyond €40 billion ($43 billion)—and may approach €50 billion (around $54 billion) annually.
According to a report from Remix News, citing government data and regional reports, the headline federal figure of €24.8 billion ($26.8 billion) significantly understates the real cost borne by taxpayers.
That €24.8 billion ($26.8 billion) represents only federal expenditures. It does not account for the massive additional spending required at the state and local levels.
German states and municipalities are shouldering a large share of the burden. Their combined costs add tens of billions more to the total.
The result is a financial strain that extends across the entire system. Public budgets are being stretched at every level of government.
But the official totals still fail to capture the full impact. Many of the most visible consequences are not included in the headline figures.
Housing markets, for example, are under intense pressure. Rent prices have surged, and affordable housing has become increasingly scarce. Public infrastructure, too, is feeling the strain. Roads are more congested, and local transport systems are facing growing demand.
Healthcare is another major pressure point. Hospitals continue to be overcrowded, and waiting times for treatment are rising.
The financial imbalance within the health system is becoming increasingly evident. The National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds has warned of a growing deficit.
A key issue is the gap between contributions and costs. Many recipients of benefits have not paid into the system at the same level….
Many of these economic migrants receive every sort of benefit that the German state lavishes on welfare recipients, including free or greatly subsidized housing, free medical care, free education including language tuition, family allowances, unemployment benefits without having been employed in Germany, and more.
Support is growing for policies that prioritize economic sustainability and national interests. The issue is reshaping the political landscape.
The mass migration — almost entirely Muslim — that has been going on since 2015, when then-Chancellor Angela Merkel threw open her country’s gates to more than a million mostly Muslim migrants and confidently declared “Wir schaffen das!” — “We Can Do This!” — have harmed both German “economic sustainability” and the country’s “national interests.” Little more than a decade later, it has been conclusively shown that no, the Germans cannot “do this.” They cannot assimilate the millions of Muslims now in their midst. The federal and state governments in Germany are running out of money; the annual bill for immigrant support now comes to the staggering sum of 43 billion dollars. This is unsustainable.
The only immigration policies that make sense are those of the Alternative für Deutschland, the anti-Muslim immigrant party that the redoubtable Alice Weidel leads. The AfD wants to call a complete halt to Muslim immigration, to deport Muslims already in Germany if they have been convicted of committing crimes, and to severely restrict the distribution of welfare benefits, including imposing a mandatory work requirement on welfare recipients.
The AfD party is now leading in all the polls and could win the next election that must be held no later than March 25, 2029. In fact, the election is likely to be held as early as next year, given all the alarm nationwide over Muslim immigration, and how the colossal cost of the cornucopia of benefits it provides those Muslim migrants is eating into the amounts that elderly Germans once could, but can no longer, count on.
