A 2026-os költségvetés-elemzésből
The payroll wedge the state charges itself — and passes to every taxpayer.
2.1 milliárd Ft in employer social contributions on ministry personnel — a cost that grows with headcount, frozen here while the mandate shrinks.
Roughly 540 Ft per taxpayer per year — 2,147 millió Ft in contributions on ministry staff, held flat as the programmes they administer wind down.
Amit látsz — és amit nem
The seen: social contributions credited toward ministry employees' future pension and healthcare entitlements. The unseen: the working-age earner whose own employer contribution funds the state's own payroll overhead on top of every other levy.
Ellenvetés
"Employer contributions are mandatory — the state has to pay them just like any other employer."
Válasz
Yes, and that is precisely why the ministry's headcount should track its actual workload. The mandate is shrinking; the freeze ensures the payroll overhead shrinks with it in real terms rather than ratcheting up.
Share if you think government payroll costs should track government workload.

Indoklás
The honest position is that the ministry's mandate should shrink as the interventions analysed below are wound down — a ministry that no longer administers a household price-cap fund, no longer manages a portfolio of energy SOEs, and no longer disburses discretionary enterprise-support programmes needs fewer staff and less office. But that shrinkage follows the programme phase-outs rather than leading them; freezing the administrative lines at nominal level lets real-terms erosion (roughly 20-25% of real value over a decade at 2.5% inflation) do the gradual work while the substantive reforms set the pace.
Átállási mechanizmus
Hold the allocation at nominal level; real-terms erosion at roughly 2.5% average inflation reduces real value by approximately 20-25% over a decade. Shrinkage follows the programme phase-outs rather than leading them.
Érintett csoportok
Ministry staff, on a slow, attrition-paced adjustment rather than a cut.
