The Key Rule — Who Pays?
The Kasambahay SSS contribution rule is different from all other member types. Under the Batas Kasambahay (RA 10361), if a household worker earns below ₱5,000 per month, the household employer is required to pay the entire contribution — both the employee share and the employer share. The kasambahay pays nothing from their salary. If the kasambahay earns ₱5,000 or more, the standard split applies — the kasambahay pays 5% and the employer pays 10%.
The minimum MSC for kasambahay is ₱1,000 — lower than the ₱5,000 minimum for regular employees. This reflects the reality that many kasambahay earn below ₱5,000 per month and still need social security protection. SSS coverage is mandatory for all kasambahay regardless of salary level.
The Kasambahay Rule
Salary below ₱5,000: Employer pays FULL contribution — kasambahay pays ₱0
Salary ₱5,000 and above: Kasambahay 5% + Employer 10% (standard split)
Min MSC: ₱1,000 · EC paid by employer
Salary Below ₱5,000 — Employer Pays All
Kasambahay deduction: ₱0 · Employer pays full 15% + EC
| Monthly Salary | MSC | Kasambahay pays | Employer pays (15% + EC) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Below ₱1,250 | ₱1,000 | ₱0.00 | ₱160.00 |
| ₱1,250 – ₱1,749.99 | ₱1,500 | ₱0.00 | ₱235.00 |
| ₱1,750 – ₱2,249.99 | ₱2,000 | ₱0.00 | ₱310.00 |
| ₱2,250 – ₱2,749.99 | ₱2,500 | ₱0.00 | ₱385.00 |
| ₱2,750 – ₱3,249.99 | ₱3,000 | ₱0.00 | ₱460.00 |
| ₱3,250 – ₱3,749.99 | ₱3,500 | ₱0.00 | ₱535.00 |
| ₱3,750 – ₱4,249.99 | ₱4,000 | ₱0.00 | ₱610.00 |
| ₱4,250 – ₱4,749.99 | ₱4,500 | ₱0.00 | ₱685.00 |
| ₱4,750 – ₱4,999.99 | ₱5,000 | ₱0.00 | ₱760.00 |
📌 Employer total = 15% of MSC + EC (₱10 for MSC below ₱15,000 · ₱30 for ₱15,000 and above). A kasambahay earning below ₱5,000 pays nothing.
Salary ₱5,000 and Above — Standard Split
Once a kasambahay earns ₱5,000 or more per month, the contribution is no longer fully shouldered by the employer. From that point the standard split applies — exactly the same as for a regular employed member: the kasambahay pays 5% of the Monthly Salary Credit through salary deduction, and the employer pays 10% plus the EC (Employees’ Compensation) contribution.
Because the rule is identical to a regular employee from ₱5,000 upward, the contribution amounts at every salary bracket from ₱5,000 up to the ₱35,000 maximum MSC are the same as the standard employee schedule. For example, a kasambahay earning ₱8,000 has an MSC of ₱8,000 — the kasambahay pays ₱400, and the employer pays ₱810 (₱800 plus ₱10 EC), for a total of ₱1,210. For the complete bracket-by-bracket list up to ₱35,000, use the standard schedule:
➡️ SSS Contribution Table — Employee — the same schedule that applies to a kasambahay earning ₱5,000 or more.

Under the Batas Kasambahay (RA 10361), household employers have mandatory SSS obligations. Failure to comply carries penalties of 2% per month on unpaid contributions and can result in criminal liability under both RA 10361 and RA 11199.
| Obligation | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Register kasambahay with SSS | SSS coverage applies once the kasambahay has rendered at least one month of service |
| Pay full contribution (salary below ₱5,000) | Employer covers both employee and employer share |
| Remit contributions monthly | Via SSS-accredited payment channels using PRN |
| Pay PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG | SSS is not the only mandatory benefit — all three apply |
| Penalty for non-compliance | 2% per month on unpaid contributions + criminal liability |
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my kasambahay get SSS benefits even if I pay everything?
Yes — the kasambahay is the SSS member and receives all the benefits regardless of who pays the contribution. SSS benefits belong to the member, not the contributor. Your kasambahay is entitled to retirement pension, sickness benefits, maternity benefits, disability benefits, and salary loans — as long as they meet the qualifying conditions for each benefit.
What if my kasambahay already has an SSS number from a previous employer?
Use their existing SSS number — never apply for a new one. An SS Number is a unique lifetime number. You report them as your employee using their existing number and start paying contributions. Their contribution history from all employers accumulates in the same record.
Do I need to register even for a part-time kasambahay?
Yes — SSS coverage is compulsory for all kasambahay regardless of whether they work full-time or part-time, live-in or live-out. The Batas Kasambahay covers all household workers including cooks, drivers, gardeners, laundry persons, and caregivers.
How do I pay SSS contributions for my kasambahay?
Generate a Payment Reference Number (PRN) through your My.SSS employer account, then pay through any SSS-accredited bank, payment center, GCash, Maya, or online banking. You must have an employer account registered at my.sss.gov.ph to access the kasambahay employer portal.
