Does the individual pay social security to calculate the length of service?

Legal analysis: individual social security payment can be counted as length of service, and retirement expenses can be counted when reaching retirement age.

Regardless of whether individuals or units pay social security, they must calculate the length of service. The only difference is that if the unit pays the fee, the unit is responsible for 20% and the individual is responsible for 8%. Individuals pay, individuals pay 28%. As for the length of service, there is no difference.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.

Tenth employees should participate in the basic old-age insurance, and employers and employees should pay the basic old-age insurance premium. Individual industrial and commercial households without employees, part-time employees who have not participated in the basic old-age insurance in the employer and other flexible employees can participate in the basic old-age insurance, and individuals pay the basic old-age insurance premium. The measures for the endowment insurance of civil servants and staff managed by reference to the Civil Service Law shall be formulated by the State Council.
