In everyday business, tasks like orders, financing, and personnel often take priority. However, personal coverage for illness or accident, as well as retirement planning, often get overlooked – despite numerous legal requirements that frequently change.
The guide, "Social Security 2026," is a compact roadmap presented by the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK). It targets founders, entrepreneurs, and small and medium-sized enterprises, summarizing the current social insurance regulations in approximately 60 pages.
The new edition features updated social insurance calculation parameters for 2026, revised example calculations, and incorporated legal changes.
The guide is available for €10 from the DIHK Publishing House (only available in German).
