6. Total Contribution - the sum of the employee and employer's contributions. This reflects your total contribution for the month.

Knowing Your Contributions

A. For Employed Member

Step 1

Suppose a member has a monthly income of Php 10,000.00. Using the new SSS Table, look for the "Range of Compensation" column. Find the corresponding range of compensation the monthly salary belongs to.  

Step 2
Head over to  Total Contribution and look for EE (Employee) column to get your contribution. This is the amount that should be deducted in the payroll, which is Php 363.30.



The employer, however, has a total contribution of Php 746.70. This is from the monthly contribution of Php 736.70 plus Php 10.00 for the employee compensation program.

Further, the member's total contribution for the month will be Php 1,110.00. This is the amount that should be reflected as the member's SSS contribution. 

B. For Self-Employed, Voluntary Member, and OFW

Step 1
Suppose the member has a monthly income of Php 10,000.00. Using the new SSS Table, look for the "Range of Compensation" column. Find the corresponding range of compensation the monthly salary belongs to.  



Step 2
Head over to SW/VM/OFW Total Contribution column. This is the amount the member will settle as his contribution, which is Php 1,100.00.


Unlike the employed member, the member under this category will shoulder the employee and employer contributions. 

Members with no monthly income may choose the amount he wish to pay as his monthly contribution.
