The National Insurance Board of Trinidad and Tobago has alerted employers and workers that National Insurance contributions will increase from 13.2% to 16.2%, from January 5, 2026.
The adjustment follows the passage of the 2025 Finance Bill and applies across the National Insurance System.
The NIB said the increase is intended to address the growing number of benefit recipients alongside a declining pool of contributors, a trend it said threatens the long-term sustainability of the system if left unchecked.
