Significant increase of social insurance thresholds

On 7.03.2022, National Revenue Agency in Bulgaria has published new thresholds of insurance income.

Тhe minimum monthly salary currently is BGN 650 – for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2022 and will become BGN 710 – for the period from April 1 to December 31, 2022.

Maximum monthly amount of the insurance income is BGN 3,000 – for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2022 and will become BGN 3,400 – for the period from April 1 to December 31, 2022.

The increase will affect employees who have a taxable income of more than BGN 3,000. Their Net income will decrease and at the same time the cost for the employers will also increase.
