Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the planned increase in the contribution assessment limit will mean higher costs for many employees, despite an average additional contribution expected to be 2.9 percent in 2027. The limit is to rise from 69,750 to 76,500 euros annually – an increase of about 9.7 percent. As a result, an additional 6,750 euros of annual income will become subject to contributions, particularly affecting well-paid employees. According to Boeminghaus, the additional contributions of health insurance funds in 2026 ranged from 2.18 to 4.39 percent. The higher limit will increase health and long-term care insurance contributions for employees with higher incomes as well as the labor costs for companies. He cited FOCUS online from October 18, 2026, as a source. https://t.co/xVSnHFtnlK #Deutschland #Sozialabgaben #Krankenkassen (translated)
