Public health insurance contribution rate in Germany 1998-2024
In 2024, the share of income German employees contributed to their public health insurance was the same as each year since 2015. In 2024, German workers paid on average 14.6 percent of their income towards public health insurance coverage. These contributions along with contributions from employers and federal subsidies fund the services provided by public health funds - known as "Krankenkassen" - in Germany. The number of statutory health insurance companies in Germany fell below 100 for the first time in 2022.
