What are the benefits of social security?

1. Provide life security after retirement: After paying social security, the insured can receive a monthly pension after reaching retirement age and enjoy a more comfortable old age.

Second, provide an accident protection: social security includes medical insurance, work injury insurance and unemployment insurance. Medical insurance can reimburse medical expenses, industrial injury insurance can provide insurance compensation after industrial injury, and unemployment insurance can provide basic living security after unemployment.

Third, obtain relevant qualifications in some cities: after paying social security and reaching certain standards, the insured can obtain qualifications such as buying a house, settling down, buying a car and shaking the number.

Fourth, reduce the payment of personal income tax: the social security part does not need to be included in the personal tax payable. After the employer withholds the social security part, the personal tax base will be reduced, and the personal income tax to be paid will also be reduced.
