SSS Contribution Table Checking & Paying Process In 2024: What You Need To Know

The Social Security System (SSS) in the Philippines provides a safety net for workers through a contribution-based program.

For 2024, the SSS has set new contribution rates, which both employers and employees must follow.

Understanding these rates, how to check your contributions, and how to pay them is essential for every SSS member, as these contributions directly affect the benefits you’ll receive, including retirement, disability, and other forms of financial aid.

SSS Contribution

In 2024, the SSS contribution rate is set at 14% of a member’s monthly salary, with contributions split between the employer and the employee:

Contribution Rate	Percentage
Employer	9.5%
Employee	4.5%
Total	14%

The contributions are based on a monthly salary range of PHP 4,000 to PHP 30,000. Employers are responsible for deducting the employee’s portion from their salary and adding their contribution before sending the total to SSS.

How to Check Contributions

Ensuring your contributions are updated is important for tracking your benefits and planning your financial future. Here’s how to check your SSS contributions:

1. Visit the SSS Portal: Go to the official SSS website at www.sss.gov.ph and log in using your User ID and Password.
2. Access Contribution Section: Once logged in, locate the “Contribution” tab, typically found in the upper-right panel of the homepage.
3. View Contribution Details: After clicking on “Contribution,” you will be redirected to a page showing your detailed contribution history. This includes monthly payments, voluntary member contributions, and options like WISP Plus and Flexi Fund.
4. Via SMS: You can also check contributions by sending an SMS. Simply text SSS CONTRIB <SSS Number> <PIN> to 2600. You’ll receive an SMS with your current contribution status.

By regularly checking your contributions, you can ensure everything is up-to-date and resolve any discrepancies promptly.

Understanding the Contribution Table

The SSS Contribution Table is structured to ensure that contributions are calculated based on the member’s monthly salary.

It outlines how much should be contributed by both the employer and the employee based on different salary brackets. This helps members understand their expected contributions and benefits:

Monthly Salary Range	Employee Contribution (4.5%)	Employer Contribution (9.5%)	Total Contribution (14%)
PHP 4,000	PHP 180	PHP 380	PHP 560
PHP 15,000	PHP 675	PHP 1,425	PHP 2,100
PHP 30,000	PHP 1,350	PHP 2,850	PHP 4,200

These contributions are pooled into the Social Security System, ensuring that members can avail of different benefits like retirement pensions, salary loans, sickness, and maternity benefits, as well as unemployment insurance. Contributions also build up eligibility for retirement, disability, and death benefits.

Why Contributions Matter

Regular contributions are crucial because they determine the level of benefits you’ll receive when the time comes. Here are some of the benefits tied to your contributions:

• Retirement Pension: Provides a steady income for members who have reached retirement age.
• Disability Pension: Offers financial support to members who are unable to work due to a disability.
• Unemployment Benefit: Temporary financial aid for those who have lost their job involuntarily.
• Death Benefits: Provides financial assistance to the beneficiaries of a deceased SSS member.
• Salary Loans: Eligible members can also apply for loans for short-term financial needs.

The SSS Contribution Table 2024 sets clear guidelines on how much employers and employees should contribute based on their monthly income.

It is essential for members to stay on top of their contributions by checking regularly through the SSS online portal or via SMS. Payment options have been made convenient, allowing online and in-person transactions through partner banks and SSS offices.

By understanding how contributions work and ensuring that payments are up-to-date, members can secure their future and make the most of the benefits offered by the Social Security System.

Regular contributions not only ensure compliance but also guarantee that you have access to the range of benefits SSS offers, from pensions to loans. If you have any questions, always refer to the official SSS website or consult with an SSS representative.
