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 September 2021:
|
Gross reference wage at 100% |
Amount of the reduction (for a full-time worker with full employment) |
|
|
Manual worker |
Non-manual worker |
|
|
≤ € 1,707.94 |
€ 226.54 |
€ 209.76 |
|
> € 1,707.94 and ≤ € 2,664.08 |
€ 226.54 - (0.2369 x (wages of the manual worker at 100 %) - € 1,707.94)] |
€ 209.76 - (0.2194 x (wages of the non-manual worker at 100 %) - € 1,707.94)] |

> € 2,664.08 |
