From gross salary, the employee pays 12.95% social contributions (health 3.05%, pension 8.5%, dependency 1.4% with an allowance). Income tax is withheld on the remainder per the official 23-bracket scale for tax class 1, 1a or 2, plus a 7% employment-fund contribution, and the CIS, CO2 and minimum-wage tax credits are added back.
What does an employee really cost the employer in Luxembourg?
On top of gross salary, the employer pays roughly 12.6–15.2% in contributions: health 3.05%, pension 8.5%, accident insurance, occupational health 0.14% and the employers' mutual insurance class. This calculator shows the exact total for each mutual class.
