What Bulgaria Social Insurance Covers

Pension benefits at retirement age, healthcare (typically tied to national health insurance), unemployment benefit during involuntary separation, sickness/maternity pay, occupational accident, and survivor benefits. Specific coverage levels and qualifying periods vary by country. Self-employed must enroll voluntarily in many systems.

Salary Caps and Income Ceilings

Many bulgaria systems apply a cap on insured salary — typically a multiple of average wages or a fixed ceiling. Above cap, contribution does not grow further (limits high-earner benefits too). Health insurance often uncapped while pension typically capped. Check NOI for current annual ceilings.

Self-Employed Treatment

Self-employed pay both employee and employer shares themselves. Often subject to minimum assessment base regardless of actual earnings, ensuring minimum pension and health coverage. Some countries offer flat-rate or simplified regimes for very small operations. Source: NOI.
