The quarterly financial statistics reflect revenue on a cash basis (as opposed to the accounting results, which are accrued on an annual basis).
¹⁾ Trade tax (net) after deduction of the trade tax allocation.
²⁾ Pursuant to Article 11 of the Act on the Continuation of Corporate Tax Reform, municipalities have received 2.2% of sales tax revenue since 1998.
³⁾ Establishment of the municipal enterprise Entwässerungsbetrieb (EBE) on January 1, 1996, and of the municipal enterprise Bauhof (EB77) on January 1, 2002. On January 1, 2023, the Erlangen Job Center municipal enterprise was established. It absorbed the former Office 55 (Job Center / Unemployment Benefit 2) and the Society for the Promotion of Employment—a public-law institution (GGFA AöR).
The debts from 1995 and earlier are therefore identical to those of the city’s core budget.

The figure for 2025 is still preliminary; - = See footnotes; N/A = No data available – figures were not collected here until 2009.
