How SSS Contributions Work

The Social Security System (SSS) is a government-mandated insurance program for all Philippine private sector employees. Contributions are split between you and your employer, computed based on your Monthly Salary Credit (MSC) — a rounded figure that corresponds to your actual monthly salary.

Under the SSS contribution schedule implementing RA 11199, the total contribution rate is 15% of MSC: the employee pays 5% of MSC, the employer pays 10% of MSC, plus the Employer Compensation (EC) fund of ₱10–₱30. The MSC scale runs from ₱5,000 to ₱35,000.

Sample SSS Computation

Scenario: Employee with a monthly salary of ₱20,000

Monthly Salary Credit (MSC): ₱20,000

Employee Share (5%): ₱20,000 × 5% = ₱1,000

Employer Share (10%): ₱20,000 × 10% = ₱2,000

EC Fund: ₱30 (for MSC ≥ ₱14,750)

Total Monthly Contribution: ₱1,000 + ₱2,000 + ₱30 = ₱3,030

Who is Required to Contribute?

SSS coverage is mandatory for all private sector employees, household workers (kasambahay), self-employed individuals, OFWs, and non-working spouses. The employer is legally required to deduct and remit contributions on time — late remittances incur a 2% monthly penalty.
