SSS Pension Table Philippines
Your SSS monthly pension depends on your Average Monthly Salary Credit (AMSC) and total Credited Years of Service (CYS). The pension is the highest of three formulas. For example, with a ₱20,000 AMSC and 25 years of contributions, your estimated pension is about ₱10,300 per month.
Estimated monthly pension by salary credit & years

Estimates based on the SSS pension formula. Actual pension may vary based on contribution history and average monthly salary credit.
The three SSS pension formulas
SSS computes your pension using all three formulas and gives you the highest amount.
This formula rewards long tenure. The 2% bonus applies for every credited year of service beyond the first 10 years. For members with 25+ years of contributions, this formula usually yields the highest pension.
A simpler calculation that gives you 40% of your average monthly salary credit. This formula tends to produce the highest amount for members with shorter contribution periods but higher salary credits.
The guaranteed statutory minimum pension floor under the Social Security Act of 2018 (RA 11199). If Formulas 1 and 2 both produce a lower amount, the minimum applies: ₱1,200 per month for 10 to 19 credited years of service and ₱2,400 for 20 or more. The ₱1,000 across-the-board increase is added on top. This statutory floor is separate from the 2025–2027 Pension Reform Program, which raises the pensions of members who are already retired.
Who it applies to
The SSS retirement pension applies to all SSS members who have reached retirement age (60 for optional, 65 for mandatory) and have made at least 120 monthly contributions (10 years). This includes:
- Employed members — private sector employees whose employers remit SSS contributions
- Self-employed members — freelancers, business owners, and professionals who pay their own contributions
- Voluntary members — separated employees, overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), and non-working spouses who continue contributing
Members who do not meet the minimum 120 contributions will receive a lump-sum benefit instead of a monthly pension.
Eligibility requirements
- At least 120 monthly contributions (10 credited years of service)
- At least 60 years old for optional retirement (must have separated from employment)
- At least 65 years old for mandatory/technical retirement
- Must not be receiving any other SSS benefit at the time of retirement
Worked example
Highest of three formulas. Plus a 13th month pension every December.
