In 2023, the social security payment base was the lowest.

The minimum payment base of social insurance is the basis of social insurance payment calculation, and its calculation will be different with reference to the level of regional economic development and local plans. According to regulations, the national minimum social security payment base in 2023 is 1620 yuan/month, which will be adjusted every year. Generally speaking, the minimum payment base of social security in big cities and economically developed areas will be higher; The base of social security payment in small towns is lower than that in big cities, which means that the monthly social security payment in small cities is less than that in big cities.

The social security payment base is 60%-300% of the average social wage. For example, the average social wage 1000 yuan, and the payment base can be 600 yuan-3,000 yuan. Take Shanghai in 2004 as an example. In 2003, the average monthly social wage was 1847 yuan. If the monthly salary exceeds 1847 times 3=554 1 yuan. Then the social security payment base is 554 1 yuan; If the monthly salary is less than 1847 times 60%= 1 108.2 yuan, the social security payment base is 1 108.2 yuan. If the salary is between 1 108.2 and 554 1 yuan, the base is salary. Article 72 of the Social Insurance Law establishes social insurance institutions in overall planning areas. According to the needs of the work, with the approval of the local social insurance administrative department and the organization management organ, the social insurance agency may set up branches and service outlets in this overall planning area. The personnel expenses of social insurance agencies and the basic operating expenses and management expenses incurred in handling social insurance shall be guaranteed by the finance at the same level in accordance with state regulations.

Generally, my salary income in the previous year is the base of payment.

(1) If the wage income of employees is higher than 300% of the local average wage of employees in the previous year, 300% of the local average wage of employees in the previous year will be used as the payment base;

(two) the wage income of employees is lower than 60% of the local average wage of employees in the previous year, with 60% of the local average wage of employees in the previous year as the payment base;

(3) If the employee's salary is between 300% and 60%, it shall be declared according to the facts. When it is impossible to determine the wage income of employees, the payment base shall be determined according to the local average wage of employees in the previous year published by the local labor administrative department.

Social security will regularly check the base every year (March or July, in different places), and declare a new base according to the average monthly salary of employees in the previous year. It is necessary to prepare proof of these payroll.

The social security payment base is the payment standard of social insurance payment, and the payment amount is approved according to the base and coefficient. The social security payment base is 60%-300% of the average social wage. For example, the average social wage 1000 yuan, and the payment base can be 600 yuan-3,000 yuan.
