What do I pay for voluntary health insurance as an employee?
As an employee, you are voluntarily insured if your regular income in 2026 exceeds the social security threshold of 77,400 EUR. You are generally required to pay the contributions to health and long-term care insurance yourself. Your employer pays their monthly share to health and long-term care insurance together with your salary.Quick access

As a rule, your employer makes the payment and deducts your share of contributions to health and long-term care insurance from your salary. This is then paid directly to us together with the contributions to pension and unemployment insurance.Share of contributions to health and long-term care insurance paid by your employer
