Modification of Monthly Minimum Wage and Contribution Caps for Pension and Social Security Contributions

According to Decree No. 3, published in the Official Gazette on February 6, 2025, the monthly minimum wage has been set at $510,636 as of January 1, 2025.

This calculation was based on the variation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) between July 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024.

It is important to note that the increase in the Monthly Minimum Wage impacts:

The cap on statutory profit-sharing (gratificación legal), and therefore this new amount must be considered when calculating the maximum limit equivalent to 4.75 monthly minimum wages.
The amount of administrative fines imposed by the Labor Inspectorate, which are calculated based on the applicable monthly minimum wage.

Additionally, as of January 1, 2025, the following values are updated:

Monthly minimum wage for workers under 18 and over 65 years old: $380.923.-
Monthly Minimum Wage for non-remuneration purposes: CLP 356,815. $329.151.-

The caps on taxable income for pension and social security contributions have also increased:

Pension system (AFP), health system (FONASA/ISAPRE), and work accident insurance contributions: 87.8 UF
Unemployment insurance (AFC) contributions: 131.8 UF

These new caps will apply starting with the payment of pension contributions corresponding to January 2025 salaries.
