The SSS New Rate for 2014

Hi Yah Mommies:-)


The Social Security System has just issued a letter for its members advising the new rate of contribution starting this January 2014.

Here...

     Effective January 2014, the Social Security System (SSS) will implement a 0.6-percent increase in its current 10.4-percent monthly contribution rate, thereby setting the new contribution rate at eleven (11) percent. At the same time, the maximum Monthly Salary Credit (MSC) will be increased from P15,000 to P16,000. As affirmed by SSC Resolution No. 711-s.2013 dated 20 September 2013, the new SSS contribution rate and the new maximum MSC will become effective for the applicable month of January 2014.

     These two moves, which were approved by President Benigno Aquino III in September 2013, are part of the SSS Reform Agenda that seeks to lengthen gradually the actuarial life of the Social Security Fund and to reduce the unfunded liability of SSS.

     The 0.6 percent increase will be divided equally between employees and employers, with the latter shouldering 7.37 percent, while the former will pay 3.63 percent of the applicable monthly salary credit. However, Self-Employed and Voluntary Members (SEVMs), including overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), will shoulder the entire 11 percent rate.

     With the new 11-percent contribution rate, the monthly contribution amount at theminimum MSC of P1,000 will be P110, and at the new P16,000 maximum MSC will be P1,760. 

Here's the New Salary Rate Table for your reference.

Yan ang bukambibig ng mga officemates ko.

O sya!!!  Check nga natin…

First, we should know how to compute our monthly / semi monthly net pay. 
Hinde yung kuha na lang tayo ng kuha ng payslip tapos  susulyapan agad ang net pay at itatapon.

How?  

1.  Know your status:

e.g. single/married = S/ME

Married with 1 dependent   =  ME1

Married with 2 dependents  =  ME2

Married with 3 dependents  =  ME3

Married with 4 dependents   = ME4

who are the qualified dependent?

• A legitimate child, illigitimate, legally adopted child of the employee
• not more than  21 years of age, unless physically or mentally incapacitated

Illustration:

Crazeemum’s monthly salary :  Php 15,000.00

Payroll payout every 20^th and 5^th of the month.

Status ? Married With 1 dependent

No SSS loans,HDMF or advances to be deducted

***For the payroll period of January 1-15, 2012 (January 20 payout)

(semi-monthly payroll)

To compute crazeemum's  semi monthly witholding tax :

1.  let's refer to Table B line 1 (ME1) of column 5 fix compensation 

of Php7,500.00 semi monthly which shows a tax of                                  

 (exemption) on Php6,042.00         =                Php354.17

plus 20% of the excess of 

 (Php7,500.00 - Php6,042.00) 

 Php1,458.00 multiply by 20%       =                Php291.60

                                                                  ____________                                    

TOTAL WITHOLDING TAX 

on January 20,2012 payroll        =                  Php645.77                                 

***For the payroll period of January 16-31, 2012 (February 5 payout)

(semi-monthly payroll)

2.  Let's compute first the HDMF,SSS and Philhealth contribution 

by using this table: 

SSS Table:




Philhealth Table

We will based the contribution on crazeemum's monthly salary bracket of Php15,000.00

• SSS                                    =                       Php500.00
• PHIC                                  =                             187.50
• HDMF                                =                             100.00                                         

               

TOTAL DEDUCTIONS                       =                        Php787.50         

  **** HDMF monthly deductions is fixed to Php100.00

 1.  Then deduct this from crazeemum's semi month salary of Php 7,500.00   to get the Taxable income of Php6,712.50     

1.  let's refer to Table B line 1 (ME1) of column 5
 compensation of Php6,712.50 semi monthly
which shows a tax of (exemption)                       =                      Php354.17
 on Php6,042.00 plus 20% of the excess of
(Php6,712.50 - Php6,042.00
 Php670.50 multiply by 20%                              =                      Php134.10
                                                                                       _______________

TOTAL WITHOLDING TAX                                                Php488.27

For January 2013, crazeemum’s witholding  tax Is:  

For January 20, 2013 payroll                       =            Php 645.77 

Plus: January 20,2013 payroll                      =                   488.27 

TOTAL WITHOLDING TAX                   =           Php1,134.04

                                              

Let’ compute now for 2012 tax witheld by crazeemum's employer

Let’s assume that crazeemum’s income for 2012 are as follows:

monthly salary from January to December s Php 15,000.00

      December           645.77           488.27             500.00          187.50       100.00

      TOTAL             7,749.24       5,859.24           6,000.00     2,250.00     1,200.00

Tax Witheld 1st cut-off                        =   Php645.77

plus Tax Witheld 2nd cut-off                =         488.27

Monthly TAx Witheld                          =    Php 1,134.04

multiply by 12 months             

Annual Tax Witheld by employer       =   Php Php13,608.48

Now, Let's compute for Annual Witholding Tax of crazeemum's as per BIR:

To compute : 

BasicSalary for year 2012 

 (15,000.00 multiply by 12)                    =       Php180,000.00

Less:  SSS/HDMF/PHIC                        =                9,450.00

   TOTAL TAXABLE 

   INCOME FOR 2012                           =        Php 170,550.00

   Less : Total Exemptions

             (50,000+25,000.00)                  =                 75,000.00

                                                                  ___________________

 NET TAXABLE 

COMPENSATION INCOME               =         Php 95,500.00

by using the Annual Tax Table,

Annual Tax Table

 the witholding tax for 2012 is computed by 

refering to  Row 3 compensation of 

Php95,500.00 which shows a tax of            =       Php 8,500.00 

on Php70,000.00 plus 20% of the excess 

of Php25,500.00

(Php95,500.00-Php70,000.00)                   =       Php 5,100.00

                                                                   _______________

Annual Tax is :                                        =       Php13,600.00

Then we will deduct this Php13,600.00 from the tax witheld 

by crazeemum's employer:

13,608.48-13600=8.48

Therefore, A refund of Php 8.48 awaits crazeemum.

Note:   13^th month pay of hp 30,000.00 and below is non-taxable…   A 13^th month pay excess of Php 30,000.00 is taxable how:
