Health insurance contributions are expected to rise in 2025. The average additional contribution is currently 1.7 percent, but could rise to over 2.45 percent.

Without counter-taxes, there is a risk of massive premium increases in 2024 and 2025, according to a forecast by the umbrella organization of company health insurance. companies (BKK), health insurance contributions could rise significantly in 2025, BKK said in a statement. The reason given is the planned hospital reform, which is to be co-financed by the statutory health insurance companies.. The net income would automatically be reduced with a total contribution of 14.6 percent plus an additional contribution of 2. 45 percent. Employees would already have to bear a contribution burden of 17.05 percent. With the expected increase in health insurance contributions, the net income of those insured by BKK would be reduced by around 10 percent.
