Minimum hourly net wage

As part of the simplified procedure, the employer indicates the hourly net wage, which then enables the CCSS to determine the monthly gross salary, the amount of social security contributions, and the flat 10% tax.

The table below shows the legal minimum amount of the hourly net wage.
