Every year, the Social Security System (SSS) issues a table and schedule of fees that shows how much members (employees and employers) need to pay for contributions every month. This is also an important tool used by companies in determining the amounts to be deducted from employees’ salaries per cut-off. Please be guided by the information below with the updated amount of contribution per month for every member and the schedule of payments. The amount and the deadlines of payment vary depending on your income situation so you need to understand which category you belong and send your contributions as per your status.

This SSS table can be used by individual members when checking their contributions posted online. Moreover, we can refer to the table’s monthly salary credit (MSC) based on our salary bracket, to determine the loans and benefits that we can avail of from SSS.
Monthly SSS Contribution Table 2023 & Payment Schedule
Every month, members pay their contributions voluntarily or through the company they work for. Basically, monthly contributions are computed based on the salary bracket to which a member is categorized. It also depends on whether you are Employed, Self-Employed, a Voluntary Member, a Non-Working Spouse, or an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW).
There is a new circular issued where it contains a new SSS contribution table which is valid starting from January 2023. Please be informed of this update where there is a price increase from the previous payments.
Be advised of these recent circulars issued by SSS regarding the new monthly contribution amounts:

As for the payment schedule, the deadline for paying monthly contributions remain as follows:
- Regular Employers – last day of the month following the applicable month
- Household Employers – last day of the month following the applicable month or calendar quarter
- Self-Employed, Voluntary and Non-Working Spouse Members – last day of the month following the applicable month or calendar quarter

Important Reminders
For Employed Members: Take note of the payment deadlines for member contributions and loans (if any) to avoid incurring penalties. Employee members should also check if their employers are paying for their monthly contributions and member loans, based on the prescribed schedule of payments as shown above. Late payments will result in penalties and delays in the processing/approval of member benefits, as well as loans.
For Voluntary or Self-Employed Members: Settle your payments following the above schedule. However, you can decide on the frequency terms of settling your payments – either on a monthly or quarterly basis. A quarter covers three calendar months that end on the last day of March, June, September, and December. Payment for one, two or all months in a quarter is accepted.
For OFWs: You may settle your payment for the months of January to December of any given year within the same year. Contributions for the months of October to December of a given year may also be settled on or before January 31st of the following year.
Dates for Settlement of Loan Payments: Member loans are to be settled on a monthly basis, in reference to the prescribed schedule of payments as shown above.
The establishment of state-owned funds like the SSS aims to provide financial support, assistance, and security for eligible Filipino citizens through the many services and benefits they offer. Therefore, as private working individuals, we are eligible to be part of the national fund system, and it is our responsibility to settle our dues accordingly so that we can take advantage of the benefits and services that the SSS offers.

Summary
Please do not ever forget to keep contributing to your SSS membership as this will help you in the long run. If you may feel that the amount of your pension may not be enough when you retire, it is still a lot better to have something to receive every month compared to not having anything at all. It is wise to invest in our future because it is not all the time that we are young and able. Better learn to use our money and put them to good use.
Also, try to put off money for savings because we don’t know what the future holds for us. Let us all learn to have proper financial education and make sure that we do not easily let our emotions get the better of us especially when it comes to shopping and purchasing unnecessary items.
We hope you find the SSS table and tips above as your main source of reference when you want to know how much you need to pay if you want to continue paying for your Social Security System benefits.
