Is the social security base the basic salary?

The social security base is not the basic salary, because according to the provisions of the Social Insurance Law, the social security base needs to be based on the total wages of employees, which consists of six parts, namely hourly wages, piece-rate wages, bonuses, allowances and subsidies, overtime wages and wages paid under special circumstances.

At present, the social security base is generally based on the average salary of employees in the previous year, but if the salary is less than 60%, it is based on 60% of the average salary of employees in the previous year and 300% of the average salary of employees in the previous year.

For example, an employee's salary is 2500 yuan, but because the average salary of employees in his city last year was 5000 yuan, his social security base is 3000 yuan.

If you want to know your social security base, you can consult the personnel of the enterprise or log in to the local social security center to inquire.
