Social Security Map 2023
This is our social security map:
- Insight: This interactive map shows the considerable differences in the estimated costs of social security (statutory premiums) between the various countries on the map, as well as for the USA, Japan, and China.
- Info: The color of the country changes depending on the amount of social contributions payable. The darker red a country is, the higher the social security contributions, whereas a dark green country has relatively low social security contributions in comparison to the rest of the countries.
- Countries have remarkable differences in their social security systems. Therefore, we based these figures on a standard profile of a family of four people:
- A breadwinner/employee
- A non-working Spouse
- Two minor children
- To determine how the social security system works in each of the countries found in this document, we foremost rely on the conformation of foreign advisors. We, however, cannot get a conformation from every other country every year.
- Depending on the country, the outcome changes if one of the assumptions mentioned above changes. One other factor to keep in mind is the fact that social security premiums differ between sectors in a significant number of countries. We have estimated an average. However, if you work in a more dangerous field there is a possibility you (both employee or employer that is) pay a higher premium and vice versa. Additionally, self-employed individuals often pay different social security contributions altogether.
