From 1 January 2026, Anguilla’s social security contribution rate for the working population will increase 0.5% to 11.5% to help fund future benefits.
Employees will have to pay 5.75% of their wage – up 0.25% from 5.5% in 2025 – and employers will have to match the increase, also contributing 5.75%.
The change will apply to all filings from January to December 2026, the Anguilla Social Security Board said in a social media announcement on 8 December.

“This update supports our ongoing campaign, ‘Your Contributions Benefit You’, reminding contributors that every dollar paid into social security is a direct investment in your protection,” the office said.
“Your contributions fund your future benefits, including pensions, sickness, maternity, paternity and more. A stronger system today means greater security for you tomorrow.”
The Anguilla Social Security Board launched its three-year Your Contributions Benefit You campaign on 3 November during Social Security Week 2025.
The aim is to highlight the importance of social security contributions and the benefits they provide through public awareness activities.
On 1 January 2025 the social security contribution rate increased from 10.5% to 11%, made up of 5.5% employer and 5.5% employee contributions.
