Starting July 1, 2026, the Czech Republic will reduce minimum social security contributions for self-employed individuals (OSVČ). The government has begun sending letters to inform those affected about the changes. While many will see a reduction of 715 Czech crowns to a new minimum of 5,005 crowns monthly, the exact amount of reduction will vary. The changes concern contributions towards pension insurance and state employment policy. Authorities are providing guidance on how self-employed individuals can determine overpayments from this year and calculate their new payment obligations. The reform aims to ease the financial burden on the self-employed while maintaining social security funding.
