Every 2 years, based on the 2010 Amendments to the National Insurance Regulations, there is an automatic increase which affects pensions, specified grants and the wage ceiling.
The next increase is effective July 1, 2024. It should be noted that the adjustments are not an increase in the Contribution rates, which is also scheduled to change this year, effective July 1 (visit nibrateincrease.com for information).
