Average salary in the formal sector already exceeds RD$38,000 

By the end of December 2025, a total of 2,432,540 workers contribute to the Dominican Social Security System (SDSS), generating 2,527,123 contributions registered in the system, according to the most recent Statistical Bulletin of the Contributory Regime published by the Social Security Treasury (TSS).

The report, prepared from the administrative records of the Single Information, Collection and Payment System (SUIR), also reveals that the taxable payroll reached RD$94.221 billion, while the average taxable salary stood at RD$38,733.94, reflecting a growth of 7.61% compared to the previous year.

The age analysis shows that 55.76% of the contributions correspond to workers between 31 and 55 years old, consolidating as the main group of the formal workforce that contributes to the system. This segment also registers the highest average taxable salary, with RD$43,067.19.

Service sector concentrates the largest economic activity

The bulletin also reveals that the services sector groups 82.73% of contributing workers. In second place is the industrial sector, which concentrates about 15.45% of the contributions, reflecting the weight of these activities in the structure of formal employment in the country.

The TSS explains that the same worker can generate more than one contribution when maintaining simultaneous employment relationships with different employers or sectors, which explains the difference between the number of contributors and the total contributions registered in the system.

The Statistical Bulletin of the Contributory Regime of the SDSS is part of the periodic publications of the Social Security Treasury aimed at strengthening transparency and offering updated information on the behavior of formal employment and contributions to the SDSS.
