Germany’s CDU/CSU-SPD government has announced the new social security assessment limit for 2027. Here’s what people living and working in the federal republic need to know:

Beitragsbemessungsgrenze for 2027

In Germany, a percentage of your income is taxed to pay mandatory social security contributions. These contributions give you access to the healthcare system, unemployment benefits, accident insurance and more.

However, the “contribution assessment limit” (Beitragsbemessungsgrenze) sets the maximum amount workers and pensioners must contribute to the social security system. Any income over this limit is not subject to contributions.

The “contribution assessment limit” is increased annually. The German government has now announced that the contribution assessment limit will increase from 5.812,50 euros per month in 2026 to 6.375 euros per month in 2027.

The European Commission has put forward ideas it hopes will both ease the EU expansion process and allay concerns among existing members. Several countries, not least war-torn Ukraine, are among the candidates.
