The social security premium percentages determined for 2019

The contributions for national insurances – the AOW (General Old Age Pensions Act) and the Anw (General Surviving Dependants Act) – remain unchanged compared to 2018 (17.9% and 0.1% respectively). The contributions for the employee insurances will slightly increase compared to 2018, due to the increase of the general unemployment fund contribution (from 2.95% to 3.60%) and for the disability fund contribution (from 6.27% to 6.46%).

The sector fund contributions however show an overall decrease. This average percentage will go from 1.28% (2018) to 0.77% (2019). Whether the sector fund contribution will increase or decrease in your company’s case, depends on the specific sector the company is categorized in.
