Starting January 1, 2021, the SSS shall implement the New Schedule of Regular Social Security, Employee’s Compensation (EC) and Mandatory Provident Fund Contributions for Regular Employers and Employees, Self Employed, Voluntary and Non Working Spouse and Household Employers and Kasambahay.

This SSS Contributions increase aimed at covering a larger percentage of the contributing member’s monthly incomes, so that they can look forward to larger benefit amounts and/or higher pension savings in the future.
Change in the SSS Contribution rate is from 12.0 percent to 13 percent. Where in the old rate, Employee share is 4.0% percent and Employer Share is 8.0 percent while the new 2021 Contributions rate, Employee Share is 4.5 percent and Employer share is 8.5 percent.
