Generation of the TyEL contribution

The TyEL insurance contribution is determined on the basis of the calculation grounds ratified by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health. With the exception of client bonuses and expense loading component, the TyEL contribution bases are the same for all pension insurance companies.

The generation of the TyEL contribution also depends on the size of your company. The payroll sum from two years ago determines whether you are considered a large-scale or a small-scale employer. If your company’s payroll sum exceeded EUR 2,197,500 in 2021, you are considered a large-scale employer in 2023.

TyEL contribution components

The TyEL contribution is calculated and paid on a monthly basis. The employer reports the earnings of their employees to the Incomes Register, generally within five days from the salary payment date. Elo will retrieve the relevant earnings information from the Incomes Register and utilise this information to calculate the TyEL contribution.

The TyEL contribution consists of following components:

  • Old-age pension component
  • Statutory charges component
  • Premium loss component
  • Expense loading component
  • Disability pension component
  • Pooled component
  • Client bonus

Premium categories

The TyEL contribution of a large-scale employer is affected by the premium category. The premium category is determined by the number of permanent disability and partial disability pensions granted to employees. As a large-scale employer, you will find the TyEL insurance payment category from Elo’s online service. Read more about premium categories in the TyEL contribution guide for large-scale employers.


You can affect the company’s premium category by keeping work ability risks under control

Work ability management promotes fluent work as well as the work ability, health and safety of employees. It means good everyday management, in which work ability issues can be dealt with proactively in addition to managing performance. The effects of work ability management show concretely in sickness absence and disability costs as well as the company’s productivity. The aim of Elo’s work ability management services is to help client companies manage their disability risks.
