Salary is defined as compensation received for work performed. It includes wages, salaries, bonuses, allowances, and other regular payments, whether paid in cash or in kind, and whether calculated by the hour, day, month, or piece rate. Overtime pay may be excluded from the calculation. However, the insured salary amount may not be lower than the monthly pension contribution wage or the insured salary amounts used for other social insurance programs, including Labor Insurance, Employment Insurance, and Occupational Accident Insurance.

Unless an insured person is already at the highest NHI salary bracket, their insured salary amount must not be lower than their monthly pension contribution wage or the insured salary amounts used for other social insurance programs. Therefore, the NHI insured salary amount cannot be lower than the insured salary amounts for Labor Insurance, Employment Insurance, and Occupational Accident Insurance, or the monthly wage used for Labor Pension contributions.
