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 May 2022:
|
Gross reference wage at 100% |
Amount of the reduction (for a full-time worker with full employment) |
|
|
Manual worker |
Non-manual worker |
|
|
≤ € 1,897.55 |
€ 251.69 |
€ 233.05 |
|
> € 1,897.55 and ≤ € 2,904.93 |
€ 251.69 - (0.2498 x (wages of the manual worker at 100 %) - € 1,897.55)] |
€ 233.05 - (0.2313 x (wages of the non-manual worker at 100 %) - € 1,897.55)] |
|
> € 2,904.93 |
€ 0 |
€ 0 |
These amounts are communicated subject to confirmation by the NSSO.
