  • VOSMS (ВОСМС): 2% health insurance (max 10 MZP = 850,000 ₸).
  • IPN (ИПН): 10% on '(Gross - OPV - VOSMS - 14 MRP)'.

2. Employer Contributions on Top of Gross

The employer must independently fund and remit:

  • Social Contributions (СО): 3.5% on '(Gross - OPV)', capped at 7 MZP (595,000 ₸).
  • Employer Health (ООСМС): 3.0% (capped at 10 MZP).
  • Employer Pension (ОПВР): 1.5% from company funds.
