Not entirely true. In the end, you pay taxes from the yearly household income and the tax class does not change that. Tax class can only regulate how much of that you pay per month during the year. If you pay excess, you get it back with next year’s tax return. If you paid less than you had to, you’ll have to pay that difference. It makes zero sense to switch to 3/5 if you earn the same - literally zero benefit.
