Key figures — Slovenia, 2025

Every figure is drawn from this skill and cited to its source.

R-SI-SSC-1 -- Pay period unknown

Trigger: the month/year of the salary is not provided. Message: "The pay period is mandatory. The long-term care contribution (ZDOsk-1) took effect 1 July 2025, raising employee SSC from 22.10% to 23.10% and employer SSC from 16.10% to 17.10%. I cannot select a rate without knowing whether the payment falls before or after 1 July 2025."

R-SI-SSC-2 -- Self-employed minimum/maximum base

Trigger: computing self-employed contributions where the exact contribution base is required. Message: "The exact 2025 self-employed minimum monthly contribution base in EUR is not confirmed in this skill [RESEARCH GAP]. The minimum is stated as 60% of the prior-year average monthly gross wage; the maximum is EUR 8,876.11/month. Confirm the precise published OPSVZ figure with FURS before filing. Escalate to a Slovenian licensed accountant."

R-SI-SSC-3 -- Contribution arrears / default interest

Trigger: client has unpaid contributions from prior periods or asks to quantify default interest. Message: "Default interest on unpaid contributions accrues under ZDavP-2; sources cite a statutory 7% p.a. (Art. 95) and a daily ~9.02% p.a. rate during procedures (Art. 96) [RESEARCH GAP -- precise applicable 2025 rate not confirmed]. Do not quantify arrears without a FURS statement. Escalate to a Slovenian licensed accountant."

R-SI-SSC-4 -- Penalties / administrative fines

Trigger: client asks about fines for failure to register, report (REK-O) or pay contributions. Message: "Specific administrative fine amounts under ZPSV/ZDavP-2 are not confirmed from an authoritative source in this skill [RESEARCH GAP]. Escalate to a Slovenian licensed accountant."

R-SI-SSC-5 -- Cross-border / posted workers / A1 certificates

Trigger: client works in or from another EU/EEA state, holds an A1, or asks about which country's social security applies. Message: "Cross-border social-security coordination (EU Regulation 883/2004, A1 certificates, posting) determines which state's contributions apply and is outside the scope of this skill. Escalate to a Slovenian licensed accountant."

Employee SSC formula

employee_SSC = gross x employee_rate where employee_rate = 22.10% for pay periods up to 30 Jun 2025 = 23.10% for pay periods from 1 Jul 2025 (LTC +1pp) PLUS flat OZP = EUR 37.17/month (EUR 35 for Jan-Feb 2025), withheld per insured person NO ceiling for employeesSource: PwC; SPOT; KPMG GMS Flash Alert 2025-133

Employer SSC formula

employer_SSC = gross x employer_rate where employer_rate = 16.10% for pay periods up to 30 Jun 2025 = 17.10% for pay periods from 1 Jul 2025 (LTC +1pp) NO ceiling for employeesSource: PwC; SPOT

LTC split rule

The long-term care contribution (ZDOsk-1) is effective 1 July 2025. It adds 1 percentage point to BOTH the employee total (22.10% -> 23.10%) and the employer total (16.10% -> 17.10%). Always select the rate by the pay period: Jan-Jun 2025 = pre-LTC, Jul-Dec 2025 = post-LTC. The LTC is collected like health contributions by ZZZS.Source: KPMG GMS Flash Alert 2025-133

Component breakdown rule

The statutory employee breakdown (15.50% PIZ / 6.36% health / 0.14% unemployment / 0.10% parental / 0.00% work-injury = 22.10%) and employer breakdown (8.85% / 6.56% / 0.06% / 0.10% / 0.53% = 16.10%) are the long-standing rates. The 1% LTC is additive on top, which is why each total rises by 1pp from 1 July 2025. Do not double-count.Source: PwC; SPOT

Flat OZP rule

The compulsory health contribution (OZP/OPZ), introduced 1 January 2024, is a FLAT per-capita amount: EUR 35/month in Jan-Feb 2025, EUR 37.17/month from 1 March 2025. It is adjusted annually on 1 March. It is separate from the percentage health insurance (6.36%/6.56%) and is withheld by the employer for employees.Source: KPMG GMS Flash Alert 2024-046; PwC

Ceiling rule

Employees have NO maximum contribution assessment base -- contributions apply to the full gross. Only self-employed are capped, at 3.5x the average salary = EUR 8,876.11/month for 2025.Source: European Commission "Your social security rights in Slovenia"; RRA Koroska

Self-employed base rule

The self-employed (s.p.) base ranges from a minimum of 60% of the prior-year average monthly gross wage to a maximum of EUR 8,876.11/month for 2025. The self-employed person bears BOTH the employee and employer rates, and a 2% LTC from 1 July 2025. [RESEARCH GAP -- exact 2025 minimum EUR base to be confirmed against the FURS OPSVZ table.]Source: RRA Koroska; ZPSV

Contribution base rule

Contributions are computed on the gross amount of employment income. The employer withholds employee contributions and PIT and pays the employer-side contributions at the time of salary payment.Source: PwC; SPOT

PIT separation rule

PIT (dohodnina) is withheld as akontacija dohodnine on top of contributions; the two are distinct payroll deductions. Annual PIT is reconciled via the informative tax calculation (informativni izracun dohodnine, IID). Do not net PIT against contributions. (See Section 10 for 2025 brackets.)Source: PwC; FURS

Does Slovenia have personal income tax? YES. Slovenia levies dohodnina (personal income tax) with five progressive brackets for 2025 plus a flat schedular rate on capital income. Contributions are computed on gross income and PIT is withheld separately on top -- they are distinct deductions in payroll. This skill is primarily about contributions; PIT brackets are reproduced in Section 10 for gross-to-net context.

Section 2 -- Required inputs and refusal catalogue

Required inputs

Minimum viable -- (1) employment status (employee / employer-cost / self-employed / pensioner), (2) gross monthly amount (or contribution base for self-employed), and (3) the pay period month/year (to select the pre- or post-1 July 2025 rate). Without the pay period, STOP -- the LTC change splits 2025 into two rate periods.

Recommended -- whether the person has multiple insurers/employers (relevant to the flat OZP), prior-year income for self-employed base determination, and whether PIT withholding is also required.

Ideal -- the REK-O filing data, M-1 registration confirmation, FURS account statement (eDavki), and for self-employed the published OPSVZ contribution table for the year.

Section 3 -- Payment pattern library

This is the deterministic pre-classifier for bank statement transactions related to Slovenian social security. When a transaction matches a pattern below, apply the treatment directly. Do not second-guess.

How to read this table. Match by case-insensitive substring on the counterparty/reference (namen / prejemnik) as it appears in the bank statement. Contribution payments always EXCLUDE from any VAT (DDV) return or revenue/expense supply classification -- they are statutory payroll/personal obligations, not taxable supplies. Note: in Slovenia both contributions AND withheld PIT are paid to FURS, often by reference (sklic) model 19; distinguish by the reference structure, not just the payee name.

Section 4 -- Worked examples

Six bank statement classifications and payroll computations for hypothetical Slovenian taxpayers. Currency is EUR. Bank-statement lines use the Slovenian convention (date ; prejemnik/namen ; debit/credit ; reference ; amount ; currency).

Example 1 -- Standard employer SSC remittance, post-LTC (NLB)

Input line: 18.08.2025 ; FINANCNA UPRAVA RS ; DEBIT ; PRISPEVKI 07/2025 ; -402.00 ; EUR

Reasoning: Matches "FINANCNA UPRAVA RS" + "PRISPEVKI" (patterns 3.1/3.2, NLB). July 2025 falls AFTER 1 July 2025, so the employer rate is 17.10%. On an illustrative gross of EUR 2,350: 17.10% x EUR 2,350 = EUR 401.85 (approx EUR 402). This is the employer-side SSC remittance. Exclude from DDV (VAT). Record as an employer payroll cost.

Classification: EXCLUDE -- employer SSC payment (post-LTC 17.10%). Not a VAT supply.

Example 2 -- Employee SSC withheld, pre-LTC (NKBM)

Input line: 15.05.2025 ; FURS ; DEBIT ; PRISPEVKI SOC. VARNOST 04/2025 ; -441.97 ; EUR

Reasoning: Matches "FURS" + "PRISPEVKI SOC. VARNOST" (pattern 3.1/3.2). April 2025 is BEFORE 1 July 2025, so the employee rate is 22.10%. On a gross of EUR 2,000: 22.10% x EUR 2,000 = EUR 442.00 (approx). This is employee SSC withheld from gross and remitted to FURS. The flat OZP (EUR 37.17/month) and PIT are separate lines. Exclude from VAT.

Classification: EXCLUDE -- employee SSC (pre-LTC 22.10%). Not a VAT supply.

Example 3 -- Flat compulsory health contribution OZP (SKB)

Input line: 20.06.2025 ; ZZZS ; DEBIT ; OZP 05/2025 ; -37.17 ; EUR

Reasoning: Matches "ZZZS" + "OZP" (pattern 3.1). Amount EUR 37.17 is the flat compulsory health contribution (OZP/OPZ) per insured person, applicable from 1 March 2025 (EUR 35 in Jan-Feb 2025). This is a FLAT euro amount, NOT a percentage, and is distinct from the percentage health insurance (6.36%/6.56%). Withheld by employer for employees. Exclude from VAT.

Classification: EXCLUDE -- flat OZP health contribution (EUR 37.17/month). Not a percentage; not a VAT supply.

Example 4 -- PIT (dohodnina) payment, NOT a contribution (Intesa Sanpaolo)

Input line: 18.09.2025 ; FINANCNA UPRAVA ; DEBIT ; AKONTACIJA DOHODNINE 08/2025 ; -312.40 ; EUR

Reasoning: Matches "FINANCNA UPRAVA" but the reference is "AKONTACIJA DOHODNINE" (pattern 3.3). This is advance personal income tax (PIT withholding), NOT a social security contribution. Same payee (FURS) as SSC, so distinguish by the reference. Do not classify as SSC. Exclude from VAT.

Classification: EXCLUDE -- PIT (dohodnina) withholding. NOT a contribution.

Example 5 -- Self-employed (s.p.) monthly contribution, capped (NLB)

Input line: 19.07.2025 ; FURS ; DEBIT ; OPSVZ 06/2025 ; -3,545.42 ; EUR

Reasoning: Matches "FURS" + "OPSVZ" (self-employed contribution calculation; pattern 3.1). A high-earning sole trader at the maximum base EUR 8,876.11/month. Combined self-employed SSC for June 2025 (pre-LTC) is employee+employer-equivalent. Illustrative: 38.20% (22.10% + 16.10%, both borne by the s.p.) x EUR 8,876.11 = EUR 3,390.67, plus flat OZP EUR 37.17. The exact total depends on the OPSVZ table and the self-employed LTC (2% from 1 Jul 2025). June 2025 is pre-LTC. Exclude from VAT. Note self-employed pay by the 20th of the following month (Art. 353 ZDavP-2).

Classification: EXCLUDE -- self-employed (s.p.) SSC at capped base. Flag for reviewer to confirm against OPSVZ table. Not a VAT supply.

Example 6 -- Pensioner LTC on net pension, post-LTC (Delavska hranilnica)

Input line: 05.08.2025 ; ZZZS ; DEBIT ; DOLGOTRAJNA OSKRBA 07/2025 ; -8.45 ; EUR

Reasoning: Matches "ZZZS" + "DOLGOTRAJNA OSKRBA" (pattern 3.1). From 1 July 2025, pensioners pay 1% LTC on NET pension under ZDOsk-1. On a net pension of EUR 845: 1% x EUR 845 = EUR 8.45. This is a contribution paid (deducted from pension), not pension income received. Exclude from VAT.

Classification: EXCLUDE -- pensioner LTC contribution (1% of net pension, from 1 Jul 2025). Not a VAT supply.

Section 5 -- Tier 1 rules

These rules apply when bank statement / payroll data is clear and all required inputs are available. Apply exactly as written.

Rule 1 -- Employee SSC formula

  • Employee SSC formula — employee_SSC = gross x employee_rate where employee_rate = 22.10% for pay periods up to 30 Jun 2025 = 23.10% for pay periods from 1 Jul 2025 (LTC +1pp) PLUS flat OZP = EUR 37.17/month (EUR 35 for Jan-Feb 2025), withheld per insured person NO ceiling for employees (Source: PwC; SPOT; KPMG GMS Flash Alert 2025-133)

Rule 2 -- Employer SSC formula

  • Employer SSC formula — employer_SSC = gross x employer_rate where employer_rate = 16.10% for pay periods up to 30 Jun 2025 = 17.10% for pay periods from 1 Jul 2025 (LTC +1pp) NO ceiling for employees (Source: PwC; SPOT)

Rule 3 -- The 1 July 2025 LTC change splits 2025 into two periods

  • LTC split rule — The long-term care contribution (ZDOsk-1) is effective 1 July 2025. It adds 1 percentage point to BOTH the employee total (22.10% -> 23.10%) and the employer total (16.10% -> 17.10%). Always select the rate by the pay period: Jan-Jun 2025 = pre-LTC, Jul-Dec 2025 = post-LTC. The LTC is collected like health contributions by ZZZS. (Source: KPMG GMS Flash Alert 2025-133)

Rule 4 -- Component breakdown does NOT include the separate LTC line

  • Component breakdown rule — The statutory employee breakdown (15.50% PIZ / 6.36% health / 0.14% unemployment / 0.10% parental / 0.00% work-injury = 22.10%) and employer breakdown (8.85% / 6.56% / 0.06% / 0.10% / 0.53% = 16.10%) are the long-standing rates. The 1% LTC is additive on top, which is why each total rises by 1pp from 1 July 2025. Do not double-count. (Source: PwC; SPOT)

Rule 5 -- The flat OZP is a euro amount, not a percentage

  • Flat OZP rule — The compulsory health contribution (OZP/OPZ), introduced 1 January 2024, is a FLAT per-capita amount: EUR 35/month in Jan-Feb 2025, EUR 37.17/month from 1 March 2025. It is adjusted annually on 1 March. It is separate from the percentage health insurance (6.36%/6.56%) and is withheld by the employer for employees. (Source: KPMG GMS Flash Alert 2024-046; PwC)

Rule 6 -- No ceiling for employees; cap only for self-employed

  • Ceiling rule — Employees have NO maximum contribution assessment base -- contributions apply to the full gross. Only self-employed are capped, at 3.5x the average salary = EUR 8,876.11/month for 2025. (Source: European Commission "Your social security rights in Slovenia"; RRA Koroska)

Rule 7 -- Self-employed contribution base

  • Self-employed base rule — The self-employed (s.p.) base ranges from a minimum of 60% of the prior-year average monthly gross wage to a maximum of EUR 8,876.11/month for 2025. The self-employed person bears BOTH the employee and employer rates, and a 2% LTC from 1 July 2025. [RESEARCH GAP -- exact 2025 minimum EUR base to be confirmed against the FURS OPSVZ table.] (Source: RRA Koroska; ZPSV)

Rule 8 -- Contribution base is gross employment income

  • Contribution base rule — Contributions are computed on the gross amount of employment income. The employer withholds employee contributions and PIT and pays the employer-side contributions at the time of salary payment. (Source: PwC; SPOT)

Rule 9 -- Payment / filing schedule

Payment / filing schedule (Source: SPOT; FURS eDavki; payroll guides -- [RESEARCH GAP -- the exact statutory REK-O deadline should be cross-checked with FURS eDavki documentation.])

ObligorReportFiling / payment timing
Employer (per employee)REK-O (formerly REK-1) via eDavkiFiled on/by the employee's pay day; data flows to AJPES
Employer (new hire)M-1 via SPOT/eDavki to ZPIZBefore commencement of work
Self-employedOPSVZ calculation via eDavkiSubmit by 15th of month for prior month; pay by 20th (Art. 353 ZDavP-2)

Rule 10 -- Slovenia HAS personal income tax (kept separate from SSC)

  • PIT separation rule — PIT (dohodnina) is withheld as akontacija dohodnine on top of contributions; the two are distinct payroll deductions. Annual PIT is reconciled via the informative tax calculation (informativni izracun dohodnine, IID). Do not net PIT against contributions. (See Section 10 for 2025 brackets.) (Source: PwC; FURS)

Section 6 -- Tier 2 catalogue

When payroll/bank data is ambiguous or client circumstances are unclear, flag these situations for reviewer confirmation.

T2-1 -- Pay period straddling 1 July 2025

Trigger: A salary payment relates to a period spanning June-July 2025, or a back-payment is made after 1 July for an earlier period.

Issue: The applicable LTC (1pp) depends on whether the relevant period falls before or after 1 July 2025. Back-payments and mixed periods can be ambiguous.

Action: Flag for reviewer. Confirm the period the salary relates to before selecting 22.10%/16.10% vs 23.10%/17.10%.

T2-2 -- Self-employed minimum base determination

Trigger: Computing s.p. contributions where prior-year income is low or the person is newly self-employed.

Issue: The minimum base is 60% of the prior-year average monthly gross wage, but the exact 2025 EUR figure is not confirmed here, and newly self-employed may have a different (often reduced) base in the first periods.

Action: Flag for reviewer. Confirm the EUR minimum against the FURS published OPSVZ table. [RESEARCH GAP]

T2-3 -- Flat OZP with multiple insurers / part month

Trigger: A person is insured through more than one basis (e.g., employment + self-employment), or starts/ends mid-month.

Issue: The flat OZP (EUR 37.17/month) is per insured person; apportionment or single-charge rules across multiple bases / part months are not detailed here.

Action: Flag for reviewer to confirm how many flat OZP charges apply.

T2-4 -- Contribution arrears / default interest

Trigger: Client has unpaid contributions from prior periods.

Issue: Default interest accrues under ZDavP-2; sources cite 7% p.a. (Art. 95) and a daily ~9.02% p.a. (Art. 96) during procedures. The precise 2025 applicable rate is not confirmed.

Action: Do not quantify arrears without a FURS statement. Escalate to a Slovenian licensed accountant. [RESEARCH GAP]

T2-5 -- Pensioner / mixed-income LTC

Trigger: Client receives a pension and also has employment/self-employment income.

Issue: From 1 July 2025 pensioners pay 1% LTC on net pension; the interaction of LTC across pension + employment + self-employment is not detailed here.

Action: Flag for reviewer to confirm the LTC base(s) that apply.

T2-6 -- Cross-border / posted workers

Trigger: Work performed in/from another EU/EEA state, A1 certificate held, or uncertainty over which state's social security applies.

Issue: EU coordination (Reg. 883/2004) determines the competent state; Slovenian contributions may not apply.

Action: Flag for reviewer. Do not assume Slovenian contributions without confirming the competent state.

Section 8 -- Bank statement reading guide

How contribution debits appear on Slovenian bank statements

NLB (Nova Ljubljanska banka):

  • Description: "FINANCNA UPRAVA RS" or "FURS PRISPEVKI" with a sklic (reference) model 19
  • Timing: Around salary payment day (employers); by the 20th of the following month (self-employed)
  • Amount: A percentage of gross (employee/employer rate) plus a separate flat OZP line

NKBM / OTP:

  • Description: "FURS" or "PRISPEVKI SOC. VARNOST"
  • Timing: Same monthly cycle
  • Amount: Percentage of gross + flat OZP

SKB banka / Intesa Sanpaolo / Delavska hranilnica:

  • Description: "FURS PRISPEVKI", "ZZZS", "ZPIZ", "DOLGOTRAJNA OSKRBA", or "OZP"
  • Timing: Same monthly cycle

Key identification tips:

  1. Contribution debits are always outgoing (DEBIT), never credits.
  2. Both contributions AND PIT (akontacija dohodnine) are paid to FURS -- distinguish by the reference (sklic), not just the payee name.
  3. A flat EUR 37.17 (or EUR 35 in Jan-Feb 2025) line is the OZP health contribution, NOT a percentage.
  4. A small "DOLGOTRAJNA OSKRBA" / LTC line only appears from 1 July 2025.
  5. Slovenian language terms: prispevki = contributions; dohodnina = personal income tax; placa = salary; pokojnina = pension; zdravstveno = health; pokojninsko = pension.

Section 9 -- Onboarding fallback

If the client provides only a bank statement and no other information:

  1. Scan for FURS / ZZZS / ZPIZ debits -- identify all outgoing payments matching Section 3 patterns.
  2. Separate contributions from PIT -- use the sklic reference to split SSC from akontacija dohodnine; do not lump them together.
  3. Identify the flat OZP -- a recurring EUR 37.17 (or EUR 35 in Jan-Feb 2025) line is the flat health contribution per insured person.
  4. Determine the period for LTC -- payments for periods from 1 July 2025 should reflect the +1pp LTC; pre-July payments should not.
  5. Reverse-engineer the gross (employees):
    • If an SSC debit / gross approximates 22.10% (pre-Jul) or 23.10% (post-Jul), it is the employee side.
    • If it approximates 16.10% (pre-Jul) or 17.10% (post-Jul), it is the employer side.
  6. Flag for reviewer: "Contribution classification derived from bank statement amounts only. Employment status, gross, pay period, and the self-employed base have not been independently verified. Reviewer must confirm before filing REK-O / OPSVZ and the informative tax calculation."

Test suite

Test 1: Employee, gross EUR 2,000, pay period May 2025 (pre-LTC). -> Employee SSC = 22.10% x 2,000 = EUR 442.00, plus flat OZP EUR 37.17. Employer SSC = 16.10% x 2,000 = EUR 322.00.

Test 2: Employee, gross EUR 2,000, pay period August 2025 (post-LTC). -> Employee SSC = 23.10% x 2,000 = EUR 462.00, plus flat OZP EUR 37.17. Employer SSC = 17.10% x 2,000 = EUR 342.00.

Test 3: Employee, gross EUR 50,000/month (high earner), pay period September 2025. -> NO ceiling applies. Employee SSC = 23.10% x 50,000 = EUR 11,550.00. Employer SSC = 17.10% x 50,000 = EUR 8,550.00.

Test 4: Self-employed, base capped at EUR 8,876.11/month, June 2025 (pre-LTC). -> Combined 38.20% (22.10% + 16.10%) x 8,876.11 = EUR 3,390.67, plus flat OZP EUR 37.17. Flag for reviewer to confirm against OPSVZ table.

Test 5: Flat OZP for January 2025. -> EUR 35.00 (the EUR 37.17 figure applies only from 1 March 2025).

Test 6: Pensioner, net pension EUR 845, July 2025. -> LTC = 1% x 845 = EUR 8.45 (LTC effective 1 Jul 2025; no LTC for pre-July periods).

Test 7: Employee, gross EUR 1,277.72 (2025 minimum wage), April 2025. -> Employee SSC = 22.10% x 1,277.72 = EUR 282.38, plus flat OZP EUR 37.17. Employer SSC = 16.10% x 1,277.72 = EUR 205.71.

Test 8: FURS debit referenced "AKONTACIJA DOHODNINE". -> NOT a contribution. Classify as PIT withholding; exclude from SSC and from VAT.

Prohibitions

  • NEVER select an SSC rate without knowing the pay period -- the 1 July 2025 LTC change splits 2025 into 22.10%/16.10% (pre) and 23.10%/17.10% (post).
  • NEVER apply a maximum ceiling to an EMPLOYEE -- only self-employed are capped (EUR 8,876.11/month for 2025).
  • NEVER treat the flat OZP (EUR 37.17/month) as a percentage -- it is a fixed euro amount per insured person.
  • NEVER double-count the LTC -- it is already included in the 23.10%/17.10% post-July totals; the component breakdown excludes it.
  • NEVER conflate contributions with PIT (akontacija dohodnine) -- both go to FURS but are distinct deductions; distinguish by the sklic reference.
  • NEVER invent the self-employed minimum EUR base -- it is a RESEARCH GAP; confirm against the FURS OPSVZ table.
  • NEVER quantify contribution arrears or default interest without a FURS statement -- the precise rate is a RESEARCH GAP.
  • NEVER state specific administrative fine amounts -- they are a RESEARCH GAP; escalate to a licensed accountant.
  • NEVER assume Slovenian contributions apply to a cross-border / posted worker without confirming the competent EU state.
  • NEVER present contribution or PIT figures as definitive -- always label as estimated and direct the client to their FURS (eDavki) statement.
