Cyprus Social Insurance calculator
Enter your gross monthly salary to see what comes off your pay and what your employer pays into each fund.
The rates are those in the Social Insurance Services' Employer's Guide.
How it's calculated
- Social Insurance: the employee pays 8.8% and the employer 8.8%, up to €5,742 a month.
- GeSY: 2.65% from the employee and 2.9% from the employer.
- Only the employer pays 1.2% to the Redundancy Fund, 0.5% to the Human Resource Development Fund and 2% to the Social Cohesion Fund, which has no ceiling.
- An employer paying into the Central Holiday Fund adds 8% for 20 days of leave. That amount counts as pay for all other contributions.
An example
In the Employer's Guide example, a €1,000 salary with Holiday Fund payments gives €1,080 of earnings for contributions. All contributions together, employee and employer, come to €369.98.
