Which is better to pay social security by yourself or by the company?

It is better for the company to pay social security.

First, choosing a company is more secure. When an employer signs a labor contract with an employee, the social security must be paid by the company, and only the company can legally pay it.

Second, the company pays the fee, and the individual bears a small proportion of the fee. If the social security is paid by the company, the pension insurance contribution ratio is 24%, of which the company will bear 16%, the individual will only bear 8%, and the medical insurance contribution ratio will be 8%, of which the company will bear 6 and the individual will only bear 2%.

Third, the proportion of individual contributions is high and the scope of protection is small. If an individual pays social security, if it is a foreign household registration, many places cannot handle personal payment of social security; Even if you can do it, you can only apply for endowment insurance and medical insurance, and the individual will bear all the contributions. Individuals need to bear 20% of the endowment insurance and 8% of the medical insurance, which is 28% in total, which is equivalent to more than the company's contribution 19.5%. And there is no unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, industrial injury insurance, housing provident fund. The loss is very large.
