The new maximum amount of monthly insurable earnings shall be payable by 75% of the previous month’s Total Consumption Poverty Line (TCPL) for an average of five persons per household.
The national TCPL figures are published by the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZIMSTAT). The NSSA will publish the monthly insurance earnings applicable for each month by the first of each month on the NSSA website.
The insurable earning ceiling for the month of June 2021 is therefore ZWL 21641.25.
