Work bonus: new amounts as from 1 Januari 2022

Author: Anne Ghysels (Legal Expert)
Date:

The 'work bonus' is a reduction of personal social security contributions paid by the worker.

This reduction applies to workers with low wages and enables them to benefit from higher net wages.

As a consequence of the evolution of the consumer price index, the amount of this reduction will be calculated on the basis of the following formula as from 1 Januari 2022:

Gross reference wage at 100%

Amount of the reduction (for a full-time worker with full employment)
 

Manual worker

Non-manual worker

≤ € 1,742.14

€ 231.08

€ 213.96

> € 1,742,14 and ≤ € 2,717.30

€ 231.08 - (0.2370 x (wages of the manual worker at 100 %) - € 1,742.14)]

€ 213.96 - (0.2194 x (wages of the non-manual worker at 100 %) - € 1,742.14)]

> € 2,717.30

€ 0

€ 0

These amounts are communicated subject to confirmation by the NSSO.
