How to update the New 2025 SSS Rates?

Payroll > Settings > Contribution Types

The Social Security System (SSS) periodically adjusts its contribution rates to ensure the sustainability of its fund and improve benefits for its members. Under the law, SSS should gradually increase the contribution rate by one percentage point every two years until it reaches 15 percent by 2025. For businesses and HR teams using KAMI for payroll and contributions management, it’s essential to update the SSS rates promptly to comply with government requirements.

Before we get started, please refer to the Contribution Types article for guidance. Additionally, ensure that all previous payroll batches have been closed or paid before updating the contribution rate in KAMI.
