The rate of reduction, also called the "T" value, corresponds to the maximum coefficient of the general reduction in employers' contributions. This is the sum of the following contributions:

  • Social security contributions for sickness, maternity, invalidity, death and basic old-age insurance (retirement from the general scheme or the agricultural social protection scheme);
  • Contribution to the National Housing Fund (Fnal);
  • Contributions of family allowances;
  • Solidarity Autonomy Contribution (CSA) ;
  • Legally compulsory employers' supplementary pension contributions;
  • Employer’s contribution to unemployment insurance;
  • Contributions for accidents at work and occupational diseases.

This rate, as amended by Decree No. 2022-1700 of 28 December 2022, is included in the formula for calculating the general reduction:

(Rate of reduction/0,6) x [(1,6 x 20 511,40 € (amount of gross annual minimum wage) / gross annual remuneration) -1]
