According to the relevant regulations of our country, freelancers should pay basic old-age insurance, basic medical insurance and industrial injury insurance, among which basic old-age insurance and basic medical insurance must be paid, and industrial injury insurance depends on the situation. In terms of payment standards, freelancers should pay according to the regulations of their regions, and the specific standards vary from region to region. Taking Beijing as an example, the current social security payment standards for individual industrial and commercial households are: the basic old-age insurance rate is 20%, and the maximum payment base is three times the average monthly salary of local employees announced by the Statistics Bureau last year; The premium rate of basic medical insurance is 10%, and the maximum payment base is 3 times of the average monthly salary of local employees announced by the Statistics Bureau last year; The industrial injury insurance rate ranges from 0.2% to 2%, which is determined by the industry and occupational risk level. It should be noted that the time, payment base and payment amount of social security paid by freelancers need to be operated in accordance with local regulations. Self-employed individuals who fail to pay social security fees within the time limit will face corresponding fines and disciplinary measures.

Freelancers have no fixed income, how to determine the base and amount of payment? For freelancers, the base and amount of payment are generally determined by year. Specifically, before the start of the social security payment period every year, the social security agency will issue a social security payment notice to the self-employed, including the payment base and the calculation method of the payment amount of the year. Freelancers can calculate their own payment amount according to the calculation formula in the notice, and pay social security fees in full and on time.

As self-employed, freelancers should pay social security fees according to regulations to protect their social security and welfare rights. Therefore, it is suggested that freelancers know the social security policies and payment standards in their own areas in time, and pay social security fees in full and on time to avoid unnecessary social security risks caused by insufficient or overdue payment.
