Social security contribution is supposed to cover social services in Hungary including pensions, allowances, and public healthcare. It is most obvious as a payroll tax at 18.5% of the gross salary, which employers deduct and forward to the authorities on behalf of their employees. At the same time, it is also paid by self-employed people, and sometimes its rate may be higher due to minimum expectations.
