Average insurable income in Bulgaria was €1,069.36 in September, up from €1,056.31 a month earlier, the National Social Security Institute (NOI) said.
Over the 12 months from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2026, the average monthly insurable income was €1,018.78.
Next year's budget provides for a higher maximum insurable income. This is the upper limit on the amount on which social security contributions are paid. Finance minister Galab Donev, who spoke on the issue a few days ago, said it would give insured people more rights, including higher pensions in future.
