sosiaaliturvamaksuun

Sosiaaliturvamaksuun is a Finnish term referring to the social security contribution paid by individuals and employers. This contribution forms a crucial part of the Finnish social security system, funding various benefits and services. The payments are levied on earned income and are generally calculated as a percentage of an individual's gross salary or wages. Employers are responsible for withholding these contributions from their employees' paychecks and remitting them to the relevant authorities, along with their own employer contributions.

The revenue generated from these contributions is used to finance a wide range of social security provisions. These include, but are not limited to, unemployment benefits, sickness benefits, parental leave allowances, pensions, and healthcare services. The specific rates and regulations surrounding sosiaaliturvamaksuun can vary depending on factors such as the individual's employment status, age, and the type of income earned. The Finnish social security system aims to provide a safety net for citizens, ensuring a basic level of economic security and access to essential services. The contributions are a fundamental mechanism through which this system is financed and maintained.
