Increase in the minimum wage and the mini-job threshold

08/09/2022

The maximum limit for marginally paid employment (marginal earnings threshold) has remained unchanged at €450 per month since 2013, while average wages and salaries have risen significantly since then. Policy-makers have now addressed the situation and made appropriate adjustments.

The marginal earnings threshold for a mini-job will increase to € 520 per month as of 1 October 2022. This amount is based on a weekly working time of 10 hours at minimum wage conditions. This also adjusts the amount to the minimum wage which will be increased at the same time to a gross hourly wage of €12.

The adjustments also include the redefinition of the amounts for a midi-job. From 1 October 2022 an employee has a midi-job if he/she earns between € 520 and € 1,600 per month. In this case, the
employer’s contribution above the marginal earnings threshold is initially adjusted to the flat-rate contributions of 28% to be paid for a mini-job and then gradually reduced to the regular social security contribution.
