How much social security does the unit pay by itself?

The amount of social security paid by the unit itself is not fixed, but is calculated according to the operating conditions of the unit, the number of employees, the total wages and other factors.

First, the proportion of social security contributions

The amount of social security paid by the unit is determined according to the relevant national policies and regulations. Generally speaking, the social security contribution ratio consists of two parts: the unit contribution part and the individual contribution part. The unit payment is usually calculated according to the total wages of employees, and the individual payment is deducted from the wages of employees.

Specifically, the payment ratio of various social insurance premiums may vary from region to region and industry. For example, the unit contribution ratio of endowment insurance may be 20% of the total wages of employees, while the unit contribution ratio of medical insurance may be 10% of the total wages of employees. These proportions are determined according to national policies and regulations, and units need to pay them according to the prescribed proportions.

Second, the social security payment base

In addition to the payment ratio, the social security payment base is also an important factor affecting the amount of social security paid by the unit. The social security payment base refers to the wage base that the unit pays social security for employees, which is usually the actual wage income of employees. However, this base has an upper limit and a lower limit, which is the range of social security payment base. The company needs to determine the social security payment base of each employee within this range, and calculate the social security expenses according to this base.

Third, the social security payment process

When the company pays social security, it needs to follow the prescribed procedures. First of all, the unit needs to register with the local social security department and go through the relevant procedures. Then, the unit needs to pay the social security fee to the designated account according to the prescribed time and method. The social security department will calculate the amount of social security that the unit should pay according to the employee list and social security payment base provided by the unit, and make accounting and records.

To sum up:

The amount of social security paid by the unit itself is determined according to the national policy, including the proportion of social security payment and the base of social security payment. Units need to pay social security in accordance with the prescribed procedures, ensure that all social security fees are paid in full and on time, and protect the rights and interests of employees.
