Isn't most software a variation on this type of thing, payroll, invoicing, etc.

Maybe it is no ones life dream to do it, but sometimes you just find a job and it happens to be something 'random' like this.
If someone asked me to work on this and gave me a huge salary, though, I'd gladly jump on it.

Most software isn't somebody's dream. It's just dealing with "dumb stuff somebody's gotta do" because there's a paycheck.
(See also - basically every profession. I don't know how many architects choose to design parking garages or dreary subdivisions, but hey, they gotta eat too.)

It's on https://www.bmf-steuerrechner.de/interface/pap.jsp
However, this is the calculation for the monthly (pay as you go) wage tax and other deductions and not the yearly income tax.

There's a pdf version as well:

The problem is in computing the input values; it's quite hard to figure out without examples, except the most simple cases.
