The statutory contribution from the Health Insurance Act (Zvw) will decrease to 5.5% in 2022 (2021: 5.7%). The maximum amount over which you pay the income-related Zvw contribution has increased to € 59,706 (2021: € 58,311).
We deduct the income-related Zvw contribution from the gross pension amounts. As a result, you will have slightly more pension left in 2022.
The Accountability Council (AC) at the Heineken Pension Fund consists of representatives of employees, employers and pensioners.
