Compulsory Health Insurance Act contribution

28 December 2020 | News

The Compulsory Health Insurance (Zvw) statutory contribution has been increased to 5.7%. The contribution in 2020 was 5.45%.

The HPF deducts the income-related Zvw contribution from the gross pension payments. This means that in 2021 you will receive slightly less pension.
Note, however, that the maximum amount over which you pay the income-related Zvw contribution has been increased to € 58,311. In 2020 this was € 57,232. In other words, the amount deducted does change even if your gross pension doesn’t.
