ZUS 2023 contributions. Retirement, disability, accident, Labor/Solidarity Fund, sickness contributions

in 2023 social security contribution for entrepreneurs increases by 17 percent. – that is about PLN 200. This means that this year, entrepreneurs will pay over PLN 1,400 to ZUS every month (without health insurance).

The calculations of the chief economist of the Federation of Polish Entrepreneurs, Łukasz Kozłowski, show that basic social security contributions will total PLN 1,418.48 and will be PLN 207.20 higher per month than the previous rates.

The values ​​in 2023 are as follows:

– pension contribution – PLN 812.23,

– disability contribution – PLN 332.88,

– accident premium – PLN 69.49,

– contribution to the Labor/Solidarity Fund – PLN 101.94,

– sickness premium – PLN 101.94.

To this must be added the compulsory health insurance premium. As explained by Kozłowski, as a result of the changes introduced as part of the Polish Order, it is calculated individually for each entrepreneur who settles tax according to a scale or a flat tax.

Referring to the amount of contributions, the chief economist of the FPP noted that “undoubtedly, we are dealing with the largest increase in the level of social security contributions paid by entrepreneurs in over 20 years.”

– This is an increase of over 17 percent. Over the last 5 years, the average increase in premiums on an annual basis was 6.8 percent. Last year’s increase (by 12.6 percent) was record-breaking, and now we are dealing with an even greater increase, which for the first time exceeds PLN 200 per month in terms of amount – pointed out Łukasz Kozłowski.

Changes in the amount of ZUS contributions paid apply to persons who run an individual economic activity and are obliged to pay social security contributions, so they do not have any other insurance title, e.g. an employment contract.
