SSS Contribution Table for OFWs (Land-Based) in 2024
The SSS Contribution Table for OFWs (Land-Based) is a document that outlines the monthly contributions that Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) are required to pay to the Social Security System (SSS) in the Philippines. OFWs who are based in other countries and earn a foreign salary are required to pay the same contributions as any other member of the SSS.
OFWs are required to make monthly contributions to the SSS to be eligible for the benefits and services provided by the organization. These benefits include retirement, disability, and survivor’s pensions, as well as loans and other forms of financial assistance.
The SSS Contribution Table for OFWs (Land-Based) lists the minimum and maximum monthly salary credits, as well as the corresponding monthly contributions for each salary bracket. The table also includes the total monthly contributions for those who are paying for the optional SSS loan, maternity benefits, sickness benefits, and/or death and funeral benefits.

What are the SSS Contribution Rates for OFWs?
OFWs are divided into two categories: land-based and sea-based. The contribution rates for land-based OFWs are as follows:
- For those earning a monthly salary of PHP 10,000 or less, the contribution rate is 14% of the regular monthly salary credit. For example, your monthly salary credit is PHP 9,500, so in this case, your contribution amount would be PHP 1,330 (₱9500 x 14%).
- For those earning a monthly salary of more than PHP 20,000, the contribution rate is 14% of the total monthly salary credit (Regular SS + Worker’s Investment and Savings Program amount). For example, if your Regular Social Security is PHP 20,000 and your Worker’s Investment and Savings Program (WISP) is PHP 1,000, then your contribution amount would be PHP 2,940 (₱21,000 x 14%).
These rates are subject to change on a yearly basis. OFWs are advised to check our website regularly for the most up-to-date information on contribution rates.

I’m an OFW. Can my family members in the Philippines contribute to My Behalf?
Assigning a representative back home to contribute to OFWs is a viable option for securing their social security benefits.
Family members in the Philippines can contribute on behalf of OFWs, provided that the necessary payment details are given and posted contributions are regularly monitored to ensure remittance to the SSS.
This option is particularly useful for OFWs who do not have the time or capacity to pay their contributions themselves.
There are two main payment options for family members who wish to contribute on behalf of OFWs: overseas remittance or paying at any SSS-accredited collecting partner in the Philippines.
To ensure that contributions are properly credited to the OFW’s account, the family member must provide supporting documents, such as the OFW’s PRN (Payment Reference Number) and other payment details.
It is also important for the OFW to regularly monitor their posted contributions to ensure that they are properly remitted to the SSS.
By taking these steps, OFWs can ensure that they are able to secure their social security benefits even while working abroad. Also, this makes them eligible for pension benefits, for which you can calculate the amount with the SSS Pension Calculator.

Hi,
My mother is based in Dubai. The last time she made SSS Contribution was Dec 2017. Since then, she’s no longer able to do her contribution. What would be the next steps if I will be the one filing the contributions from now on?
To file your mother’s SSS contributions, you need to check her account status, settle any unpaid contributions or penalties, choose a payment mode and period, prepare necessary documents, and submit them to the SSS office or authorized payment center.

Dear SSS,
I am a OFW at the moment and want to continue my SSS monthly contribution. My last contribution was on February 2022 which was paid by my employer when i was still a company employee until February 2022. Can i still pay my backlog from March 2022 to December 2022? I want to pay it so i can update my payment this 2023.
Thank you and waiting for your feedback.
Yes, you can still pay your SSS backlog from March 2022 to December 2022 even if you are no longer employed by the company that previously paid for your contributions. You can make these payments as a voluntary member through any SSS branch or authorized payment center.
We encourage you to update your payments as soon as possible to ensure that your SSS records are accurate and up-to-date. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
last contribution ko sa sss ay noong 2012 pa from local employment. im working abroad now. gusto ko magbalik loob sa sss, mag hulog ng contribution ba. saan at paano ako magsisimula anong uri ng documents ang kailangan.
Kung nais mong magpatuloy sa paghuhulog ng kontribusyon sa SSS, maaari kang magrehistro bilang isang voluntary member. Maaari kang mag-download ng aplikasyon mula sa kanilang website, o kaya ay pumunta sa pinakamalapit na SSS branch sa iyong lugar para mag-request ng mga kaukulang form. Kailangan mong magpakita ng ilang mga dokumento, tulad ng iyong passport at proof of overseas employment, para ma-validate ang iyong aplikasyon. Para sa karagdagang detalye, makipag-ugnayan ka sa SSS sa kanilang website o hotline.
Dear SSS
I am an ofw making P1,100 monthly contribution.
I want to increase my monthly contribution to P4,200 monthly.
Can I adjust it on my next contribution or do I apply first to change my contribution.
You need to apply first to change your SSS contribution amount to increase it from P1,100 to P4,200. Once you’ve submitted the request, the new contribution amount will be applied to the applicable period on your next payment.
I just learned about this process. There was a year when I did not the maximum amount, but the following year I made sure to pay the maximum without sending a request. What will happen to the happen now? I’m an OFW, I’m paying the maximum contribution because I want to get the maximum pension also when I retire.
If there was a year where you did not pay the maximum, your pension will be calculated based on the actual contributions made that year. To make up for the missed maximum, you can pay the difference as voluntary contributions. This will increase your total contributions and lead to a higher pension.
The blog details the required OFW monthly contribution based on their salary. Why not add information on how much can be expected as monthly pension upon retirement based on their monthly contribution?
Thank you for your feedback. We understand the importance of providing complete and accurate information to our readers, including details on the expected monthly pension for OFWs based on their monthly contributions.
We appreciate your suggestion and will work on incorporating this information in our future blog posts to provide our readers with a more comprehensive understanding of the SSS program and its benefits.
Dear SSS,
My husband last monthly contribution was 2014, nothing follows due to travel ban and difficulty of returning back for work in Libya. Now, he is working in Papua New Guinea and he wants to continue to pay his monthly contributions. Pls. Advise what to do.
To continue paying monthly contributions, your husband can either register as a voluntary member or continue his previous membership. He can do this by filling out the necessary forms and submitting them through their online portal.
It’s also important to note that your husband may have unpaid contributions from 2014 to the present, which can affect his entitlement to SSS benefits. He may also need to settle any unpaid contributions and penalties before he can resume his membership.
I stop paying my SSS contribution last 2021. To continue, do I have to pay the years that I haven’t paid?
Thanks.
To continue your SSS contributions after stopping in 2021, you do not need to pay for the years you missed. You can resume your contributions by changing your status to generating a Payment Reference Number (PRN) for your current payments.
If you wish to maintain your eligibility for certain benefits, it is advisable to resume your contributions as soon as possible.

Reach out to the SSS customer service hotline or visit the nearest SSS branch. Provide them with your account details and explain the situation regarding your Flexi Fund contributions. They can assist you in tracking down the missing amounts.
Keep records of your payment receipts and any correspondence with SSS. This documentation can be helpful if you need to dispute any discrepancies.
I want to continue my sss contribution. Last i paid was 2017. Do i need to pay from 2018 or i can start paying this september 2024 onwards to update my contribution? And how will i know how much im supposed to pay for monthly contribution? Do i need to send a request or something to update my records?
To continue contributing to SSS after a break from 2017, you can begin paying from September 2024 onward without having to pay for missed years (2018 through 2023). However, it is recommended that you check with SSS to see if there are any penalties that require payment.
To make your payments, you will need a Payment Reference Number (PRN). You can obtain this through the SSS website, via text, or email.
You do not necessarily need to send a formal request to update your records, but it’s a good practice to inform SSS of your intention to resume contributions. You can do this by visiting an SSS office or contacting their customer service.
