Can the self-employed change their chosen base amount later?
✓ Verified: 2026-07-11
Yes — the base must stay within the range of the minimum wage up to 3 times that. Raising the base as your income grows makes your pension fund grow faster; even if you have to lower it, keep contributing regularly, otherwise the treatment benefit stops.
