DPP Earnings Increase in 2026: earn More Without Paying insurance
Table of Contents
If you have a work performance agreement (DPP) with your employer, and will continue to have one in 2026, you may earn a few crowns more. You will not have to pay compulsory social and health insurance premiums, even if you actually earn more than this year.
How it is and how it will be
Currently, it is not necessary to pay social and health insurance from a DPP, provided that the gross monthly remuneration does not exceed CZK 11,499. Next year, i.e. 2026,brings positive changes. As the average wage increases, you won’t have to pay social and health benefits when you earn CZK 11,999 or less as an employed student or senior with a DPP. In short, you can earn an extra CZK 500 more in 2026 without the obligation to pay social and health insurance.

Otherwise,you do not have to pay health and social insurance if you have not earned a sufficient amount to trigger the obligation. That amount is CZK 11,999.
