What percentage of the salary is paid by social security?

Social security is paid at 60%-300% of the salary, but not lower than the minimum payment standard.

Social insurance is the core part of the social security system, which refers to the state as the main body, implemented by specialized agencies of laws and regulations, using social forces to raise funds from workers and their employers through legislative means, and establishing special funds to ensure that workers can get a certain degree of income compensation after losing their labor income. So as to ensure the normal progress of labor reproduction and expanded reproduction and ensure social stability.

Insured units shall report the social insurance payment base of the next settlement year to the municipal social insurance fee collection management center or the district social insurance agency (hereinafter referred to as the social insurance agency) that handles the insurance registration. The payment base declared by the insured unit shall be signed or confirmed by the insured employee himself. If the payer fails to declare according to the regulations, the social insurance agency may temporarily determine the monthly payment base at 1 10%.

The payment base is an important calculation basis for the insured to enjoy social insurance benefits. After workers participate in social insurance, social security agencies will establish personal accounts for basic old-age insurance and medical insurance for life. The higher the base of employees' contributions, the more personal accounts, the more disposable medical expenses and the higher the pension they receive when they retire. However, the concealed, omitted and underreported payment base of insured units and insured personnel will directly reduce the level of social insurance benefits enjoyed by insured personnel. The monthly payment base of social insurance is generally determined according to the average monthly salary of employees in the previous year, which is determined once a year. Once determined, it may not be changed within one year.
