Health contributions

Employers are obligated to make monthly health contribution payments equal to 9% of the total compensation paid to the employee.

Pension funds contributions

Employers must apply monthly withholdings for pension funds contributions equal to 13% of the compensation received by the employee in cases where the employee is affiliated with the National Pension System or approximately 12.5% in cases where the employee is affiliated with the Private Pension System (in this case, 10% corresponds to their personal pension account and almost 2.5% to insurance and commissions for managing the fund).
