Your SSS bracket: ₱35,000 MSC
SSS doesn't use your exact salary. It rounds it to a Monthly Salary Credit (MSC). ₱35,000 lands on the ₱35,000 MSC, so the total SSS contribution is ₱5,250 (15%) plus ₱30 Employees' Compensation, paid by your employer. That's ₱5,280 a month, ₱63,360 a year. The part of your MSC above ₱20,000 (here ₱15,000) goes to your WISP account, a personal provident fund on top of the pension, about ₱2,250 a month.
What these contributions build
At an average MSC of about ₱20,000, the SSS formula gives an estimated ₱9,300/month pension after 20 years of contributions and ₱13,300/month after 30 years, paid 13 times a year. PhilHealth covers hospital bills, and Pag-IBIG savings earn yearly dividends and open the Pag-IBIG housing loan.
