Is self-employed social security the same as enterprise social security?

Self-employed social security is different from enterprise social security.

There are some differences between them as follows:

1, different payment obligations: enterprise social security is social insurance paid by enterprises for employees, and self-employed social security is social insurance paid by self-employed;

2. Different social security systems: enterprise social security generally includes five types of insurance: endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance, while self-employed social security includes four types of insurance: endowment insurance, medical insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance, excluding unemployment insurance;

3. Different payment standards: the payment standard of enterprise social security is that enterprises and employees pay according to a certain proportion respectively, while the payment standard of self-employed social security is that self-employed people pay according to their own payment base and proportion;

4. Different treatment: social insurance premiums paid by enterprise social security can enjoy corresponding social insurance benefits, including pension and medical insurance reimbursement, while social insurance premiums paid by self-employed social security can also enjoy corresponding social insurance benefits, but the treatment standards may be slightly different.

Individual independent payment of social security needs to meet the following conditions:

1, aged over 16;

2 did not participate in the basic old-age insurance, basic medical insurance, work injury insurance and other social insurance;

3. Not voluntarily giving up social security benefits during the period of enjoying social security benefits, or the social security benefits have expired;

4. Stable source of income and ability to pay.

To sum up, if you meet the above conditions, you can go to the local social security agency to pay social security independently. It should be noted that the cost of social security paid by individuals is higher than the cost paid by the unit, so you should know and prepare for the payment in advance.
