Tajikistan operates a contributory social security system funded by employee and employer contributions. The system provides state pensions, medical coverage, and other social benefits. Contributions are mandatory for all employed workers. Self-employed individuals may contribute on a voluntary basis. The contribution rates are set by law and may be adjusted periodically.

The combined social contribution rate is 26% of gross salary, shared between employee and employer:

• Employee contribution — 1% (pension plus medical insurance)

Contributions are deducted at source by employers and remitted to the relevant authorities monthly.
