A method for determining an actual level of a vehicle, includes determining an actual level of the vehicle as a function of a distance between at least one wheel of the vehicle and a superstructure of the vehicle, wherein the distance is determined by means of a signal detected by at least one chassis sensor, wherein the signal includes at least signal portions that correspond to an own movement of the vehicle and signal portions that correspond to an excitation by a road on which the vehicle actually drives; filtering the signal portions corresponding to the own movement of the vehicle out of the signal detected by the at least one chassis sensor by means of a filter function; calculating the actual level of the vehicle from a difference between the filtered signal without the signal portions that correspond to the own movement of the vehicle and the signal detected by the at least one chassis sensor.
