Maximum contribution basis
In Austria, the maximum contribution basis is a monthly income threshold above which the income of an insured person remains free of contributions to Austrian social security . Insurance contributions are therefore only levied on that part of the monthly income that is below this income threshold.
The contribution assessment ceiling fulfills an analogous function in German social insurance .
Temporal course
The following table shows the monthly and annual maximum contribution base over time, with schilling amounts being converted into euros . In Austria it was customary until 1964 to pay the annual salary in the form of 13 monthly salaries ; since 1965 it has been 14 monthly salaries. The treatment of the sixth of the year (especially 13th and 14th monthly salary) is subject to special tax regulations.
