In 2018, they were responsible for €2,172 billion to Luxembourg social security contributions. In return, they received "only" €1,961 billion - leaving the Grand Duchy with a surplus of €211 million.

According to Statec figures, this trend has been consistently in Luxembourg's favour over the last fifteen years, as seen in the below graph.
