Due to the new Social Security Calculation Size Ordinance for the year 2022, the values relevant for the minimum salary limits in residence law are now also fixed: For the Blue Card/EU pursuant to Section 18b para. 2, sentence 1 AufenthG, the minimum salary for 2022 is therefore €56,400 gross/year, i.e. €4,700/month. For the so-called shortage occupations pursuant to Sec. 18b para. 2, sentence 2 AufenthG, the minimum salary for the Blue Card/EU for 2022 must be € 43,992 gross per year, i.e. € 3,666 per month. The contribution assessment ceiling for general pension insurance, from which the other minimum salary limits applicable under residence law can also be calculated, is €84,600/year for 2022, i.e. €7,050/month (Section 3 (1) no. 1 of the Regulation).
