# IMAGE_PROMPT – Lohnsteuer

**Last Updated:** 2026-02-26

## Scene Type

**ABSTRACT** – Distinct from lohnbuchhaltung (DESK), lohnabrechnung (DESK with laptop+chart), entgeltabrechnung (ARCHITECTURAL). Lohnsteuer = wage tax, calculation, § 32a EStG – abstract representation of tax calculation, not literal documents or desk workflow.

## Core Concept / Metaphor

Lohnsteuer = wage tax, calculation, Steuerstufen, Grundfreibetrag. Tax as structured calculation – calculator, subtle tax/finance elements, no literal documents with text.

## Key Elements (On-Theme, Concrete)

- Calculator (no visible numbers/labels), subtle grid or structured pattern suggesting calculation
- Soft light, muted professional palette
- Abstract but recognizable – conveys tax/calculation, not generic office
- No desk with laptop (distinct from lohnabrechnung), no filing tray (distinct from lohnbuchhaltung)

## Why Not (Anti-Patterns)

- Desk with laptop – lohnabrechnung uses this
- Calculator + filing tray – lohnbuchhaltung uses this
- Abstract nodes, flowing lines – generic
- Literal tax documents, money – invites text
- Blue sphere, sundial, pie chart – overused

## Composition / Camera

Wide shot with shallow depth of field – abstract composition

## Mood / Atmosphere

Structured, professional, calculative

## Prompt

CRITICAL: No text, letters, typography, signs, or readable content in the image.
Editorial photography, natural texture, soft film-like quality. Abstract representation of tax calculation: calculator (no visible numbers), subtle structured grid or pattern, professional palette – conveys Lohnsteuer, wage tax, calculation. Muted blues, warm accents. Wide shot with shallow depth of field. 16:9 landscape.
Avoid: blue sphere, sundial, generic clock, floating pie chart, stock office with laptop, abstract nodes, flowing lines, pristine perfection, documents with readable content.
