The 'employment 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.

Since 1 July 2023, a new intermediate wage band has to be taken into account.

Since 1 November 2023, the amount of the work bonus is calculated based on the following formula:

Gross reference wage at 100%

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

Non-manual worker
