Checked 22 October 2026 for ordinary covered employment. The National Health Insurance Ordinance, Chapter 8.10, revised 31 March 2021, includes the Contributions Regulations used below. The revision date is not a claim that all subsequent instruments have been reconciled.
Regulation 4 sets total contributions at 6% of earnings, split equally: employee 3%, employer 3%. It also sets a monthly minimum of $50 combined, $25 per party. Regulation 6 limits the earnings base to $7,800 monthly or $1,800 weekly for weekly-paid and other non-monthly employees. Contributions Regulations 4 and 6.
For an ordinary full-month employment with established earnings E, each share is max(25, 3% × min(E, 7,800)). This formula is a direct calculation of the stated monthly rules, not a rule for a partial month, unpaid absence or exempt employment.
| Monthly contribution earnings | Employee | Employer | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| $500 | $25 | $25 | $50 |
| $1,000 | $30 | $30 | $60 |
| $4,000 | $120 | $120 | $240 |
| $7,800 | $234 | $234 | $468 |
| $10,000 | $234 | $234 | $468 |
The minimum matters in the first row. The ceiling matters in the last. Do not substitute the different National Insurance Board ceiling.
Regulation 5 includes overtime, cost-of-living and housing allowances, service charges, production bonuses, commissions and other listed cash remuneration. It includes transport allowance only above $230 monthly and telephone allowance only above $60 monthly. The gratuity provision excludes retirement lump sums and Christmas bonuses or similar payments. Regulation 5.
Example: $3,000 salary, $300 transport allowance and $100 telephone allowance produce an illustrative contribution base of $3,110: 3,000 + (300 − 230) + (100 − 60). Each share is $93.30. The example assumes these payments genuinely meet the specified allowance categories and that there are no other earnings. Do not relabel salary to create an exclusion.
Regulation 7 requires contributions from each source and provides a refund for amounts above the maximum. Regulation 8 addresses concurrent employee and self-employed income with a combined $7,800 monthly maximum. Do not invent an allocation between employers or stop deductions without the appropriate assessment/refund process. Regulations 7–8.
Regulation 9 requires payment within 14 days following the contribution month, with the approved statement. Regulation 10 requires employee identification, start/end dates and each earnings payment and period to be recorded. Regulations 9–10.
The Board's billing guidance asks for salary information by the seventh and allows payment through the fourteenth. It states a next-business-day concession when the fourteenth falls on a weekend or holiday. Plan submission for the seventh; do not treat the payment window as permission to delay salary information. Reconcile the statement, payroll deductions, employer expense and payment receipt as an internal closing control.
The 1 June 2026 parliamentary discussion describes a review of rates and caps, not an enacted replacement. This Guide does not turn that review into a rate change. Later instruments still need checking before merge. Partial periods, self-employed concessions and benefit entitlement are outside the examples. Independent accountant review is pending.
