The table below shows the employee premium rate for seamen and the premium rate for employers engaged in fishing, both divided in monthly and half-month premiums.
If an employee receives payment for 15 days or less for one month, a half-month premium shall be deducted. If he/she is being paid for 16 days or more, full premium will be deducted.

How the rates are calculated:

Employee premium:
The employee premium amounts to 1.17 percent of the Norwegian social security’s basic amount per month for group 1 workers and 0.91 percent of the basic amount for group 2 workers.

Employer premium:
As a rule, the employer premium is 3.3 percent of the sailor’s gross income (the same amount of income that is used to calculate the employer’s social security contributions). The employer premium for workers on fishing and fishing vessels is 150% of the employee premium (see table).

The minimum employer premium for an owner and restaurateur is 150% of the employee premium.

The company is responsible for the employee premium for any employee on board and is entitled to deduct it from the rental settlement.
The premium rates are adjusted at the same time as the adjustment in the Norwegian social security’s basic amount from June 1^st each year.
