Effective January 2025, the Social Security System (SSS) of the Philippines will implement new contribution rates and updated Monthly Salary Credit (MSC) brackets as part of the continuing implementation of Republic Act No. 11199 or the Social Security Act of 2018.

This updated contribution schedule affects all business employers and employees, including those managing teams remotely or expanding operations in the Philippines.

At Lennor Hive, we simplify payroll and compliance through our Employer of Record (EOR) services—ensuring you're always aligned with the latest labor regulations.

What's New in the 2025 SSS Contribution Schedule?

‍

According to the official advisory from SSS and updates published by InCorp Philippines, the following changes are in effect starting January 2025:

• Increased Contribution Rate:
  The contribution rate has increased to 15% of the Monthly Salary Credit (MSC).

• Updated MSC Range:

• Minimum MSC: ₱5,000

• Maximum MSC: ₱35,000

• Employer and Employee Share:

• Employer: 10%

• Employee: 5%

These changes are in line with Republic Act No. 11199 or the Social Security Act of 2018, which outlines a gradual increase in contributions until it reaches 17% by 2025.

Implications for Employers

Updating contribution rates has a direct impact on your payroll systems, compliance process, and HR communication strategies. Failure to comply may result in:

• Penalties or surcharges

• Legal action from the SSS

• Disruption in employee benefits eligibility

That’s why many businesses choose to outsource payroll and compliance to a trusted EOR partner like Lennor Hive.
