TyEL contributions and certificates
As an employer, you take care of employees’ pension security by paying TyEL contributions to the employment pension company. The TyEL contribution is determined in the same way in all pension insurance companies according to the criteria ratified by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health and is a specific percentage of the employee’s gross earnings.
TyEL contribution for 2023
For a contract employer the TyEL basic contribution for 2023 is 25.30 % of the TyEL payroll. As of 1 January 2023 Elo’s basic expense loading fee is added to the TyEL basic contribution. The insurance contribution is reduced by a possible client bonus and Elo’s discounts. The TyEL contribution is calculated from the payroll data reported to the Incomes Register. The employment pension company invoices the whole contribution from the employer, who in turn will deduct the employee share of the contribution from each employee’s wages or salary.
In 2023, the employee’s share of the contribution is:
• 7.15 % for those under 53 years of age,
• 8.65 % for those aged 53–62 years and
• 7.15 % for those who have turned 63.
If your company’s payroll sum was over EUR 2,197,500 in 2021, you are considered a large-scale employer.
For an occasional employer the contribution is 26.20 %.

Due date of the TyEL contribution and insurance contribution interest
Do you need a payment extension for your invoice?
It is possible to get a one-month payment extension for your TyEL invoice, which is subject to the insurance contribution interest rate, if you have issued a payroll report to the Incomes Register within normal schedule. A penal interest is charged for longer payment extensions. If you need a payment extension for your invoice, you can apply for it easily through Elo’s Online Service or by calling our customer service.
TyEL contribution payment methods
You can pay TyEL contributions in two ways:
1. Monthly invoice
You will receive an invoice once a month for all reports of the same salary payment month. Even if you paid salaries three times a month, for example, the information of all three salary payments is compiled into a single invoice.
2. Invoice for each payroll report separately
You will receive an invoice for each payroll salary report separately. This means that you will receive as many invoices as you have salary payment reports.
The default payment method is automatically an invoice once a month, and you can change the payment method through Elo’s online service.
