Additional health insurance contributions to increase by 0.3 %

Statutorily insured persons will have to prepare for higher health insurance contributions in the coming year.

The more than 57 million members of the statutory health insurance funds must prepare for rising contributions. The Federal Minister of Health has announced that the additional contribution will rise by 0.3 % in 2023. This will increase the average additional contribution from 1.3 % to 1.6 %. Together with the regular contribution rate of currently 14.6 %, the contribution to health insurance would then amount to 16.2 % of gross wages. This would be the highest contribution rate since the beginning of statutory health insurance.
