As of July 1, 2024 the weekly insurable wage will increase from $740 per week to $810 per week and from $3,207 per month to $3,510 per month.

The National Insurance Board’s (NIB) primary objective, as mandated in the National Insurance Act, continues to be providing income-replacement for workers when they are unable to work. To deliver on this income-replacement promise to workers of The Bahamas, NIB collects contributions from self-employed persons and from employers on behalf of employees.
