SSS Maternity Computation 2026

The calculator above computes the amount automatically. Open the explanation below if you want to understand how the six highest Monthly Salary Credits affect the estimate.

SSS maternity benefit is based on your Monthly Salary Credits (MSC) from the applicable Qualifying Period, not simply your current salary.

Step 1: Find your Qualifying Period

Use the calculator above to identify the 12-month period SSS checks for your maternity claim.

Step 2: Identify the six highest MSCs

SSS uses the six highest Monthly Salary Credits within the applicable 12-month period.

Step 3: Compute the Average Daily Salary Credit

Add the six highest MSCs, then divide the total by 180.

ADSC = Sum of six highest MSCs ÷ 180

Step 4: Multiply by the maternity benefit days

  • 105 days — live childbirth, normal or caesarean
  • 120 days — qualified solo parent
  • 60 days — miscarriage, ETP, or stillbirth
Estimated benefit = Sum of six highest MSCs ÷ 180 × applicable benefit days

Example: Why can the result be around ₱35,000?

For a 105-day claim, an estimated ₱35,000 benefit corresponds to an ADSC of about ₱333.33. That is roughly equivalent to an average MSC of ₱10,000 across the six highest months.

₱35,000 ÷ 105 = ₱333.33 ADSC
₱333.33 × 180 = ₱60,000 total of six MSCs
₱60,000 ÷ 6 = about ₱10,000 average MSC

Why can the result be lower than ₱70,000?

For a 105-day claim to reach ₱70,000, the six highest MSCs generally need to average the Regular SSS maternity-benefit MSC ceiling of ₱20,000. Missing or lower qualifying contributions can reduce the estimate.

Question
Employer / Resigned / Separated
Question from Mommy · Asked Sep 10, 2026

EDD ko is January 2027. Nahulugan po ng employer ko yung February - June 2026 then by July is Voluntary member na po ako and I paid 3,000 pesos. May possibility po ba na maqualify for 70,000 na MatBen

February - 1,350
March - 1,875
April - 1,800
May - 1,800
June - 750

AnswerSSS Maternity Calculator Team
Answered Sep 12, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 For EDD January 2027, ang qualifying period mo ay October 2025–September 2026. Counted lahat ng February–June employer contributions at July voluntary contribution mo. SSS uses the 6 highest MSCs within this period.

Based sa amounts na binigay mo kung ito yung total contribution amounts posted sa My.SSS, roughly ito ang MSC:

February ₱1,350 → ₱9,000 MSC
March ₱1,875 → ₱12,500 MSC
April ₱1,800 → ₱12,000 MSC
May ₱1,800 → ₱12,000 MSC
June ₱750 → ₱5,000 MSC
July ₱3,000 Voluntary → ₱20,000 MSC

So qualified ka na, pero kung hanggang July lang ang ₱3,000 contribution mo, estimated MatBen is around ₱41,125, not ₱70,000.

Kung mag-₱3,000 ka rin for August at September, estimated MatBen could increase to around ₱56,292. Hindi pa rin ₱70,000 because kailangan ng 6 months na ₱20,000 MSC para ma-max ang 105-day benefit.

Kung may contributions ka rin from October 2025–January 2026, send mo mommy yung amounts kasi baka mas mataas pa ang possible MatBen mo.

Question
Salary Differential
Question from Mommy · Asked Sep 10, 2026

Hello po, EDD ko po ay December 2026 and nag voluntary payment ako for April 2026, May 2026 and June 2026 then I got hired po ng May 2026. Since hindi po ko po full makukuha ang ₱70,000 from SSS since 3months lang po ang contributions within the qualifying period, is my company mandated to pay me the salary differential? For context, monthly salary is approximately ₱100,000.

AnswerSSS Maternity Calculator Team
Answered Sep 12, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 Yes po, generally mandated ang current employer mo na magbayad ng salary differential, kahit 3 months lang ang contributions na ginamit ng SSS sa MatBen computation, as long as employed ka when you avail maternity leave and hindi DOLE-exempt ang company.

For EDD December 2026, qualifying period mo is July 2025–June 2026.

Ang setup is:

Full pay for 105 days based sa regular salary mo
minus actual SSS MatBen
= salary differential na sagot ng employer.

So with around ₱100,000/month salary, malaking amount ang possible salary differential because your full pay for 105 days is roughly ₱350,000, then ibabawas ang actual SSS MatBen and applicable employee contributions.

Also check mommy kung may employer contributions for May–June 2026, since hired ka na noong May. Those months could also affect your SSS MatBen computation.

Question
Contribution / Payment Deadline
Question from Mommy · Asked Sep 8, 2026

EDD ko is FEBRUARY 2027 may hulog ako ng OCTOBER 2025-APRIL 2026 qualified parin ba yun maternity benefits

AnswerSSS Maternity Calculator Team
Answered Sep 12, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 Yes po, qualified ka based sa contributions na sinabi mo, provided valid at posted lahat sa My.SSS.

For EDD February 2027, ang qualifying period mo ay October 2025–September 2026. Since may hulog ka from October 2025 hanggang April 2026, mayroon kang 7 qualifying months, which is more than the minimum 3 monthly contributions required.

So kahit wala kang hulog from May–September 2026, possible ka pa ring qualified. Ang exact MatBen amount naman will depend sa 6 highest MSCs within your qualifying period.

Question
VoluntaryContribution / Payment Deadline
Question from Mommy · Asked Sep 8, 2026

EDD of ectopic pregnancy July 20,2020 tapos may hulog ako january hanggang june 2020

AnswerSSS Maternity Calculator Team
Answered Sep 12, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 If ang actual ectopic pregnancy/termination date mo ay July 20, 2020, ang qualifying period mo ay April 2019–March 2020.

So sa contributions na sinabi mo:

January 2020 ✅ counted
February 2020 ✅ counted
March 2020 ✅ counted
April–June 2020 ❌ hindi na kasama sa qualifying period

If valid at properly paid ang January–March 2020, mayroon kang required 3 qualifying contributions, so possible kang qualified for SSS maternity benefit for 60 days dahil covered ang ectopic pregnancy under miscarriage/ETP benefits.

Good news din mommy: SSS maternity claims may be filed within 10 years from the date of miscarriage/ETP, so kung July 20, 2020 ang actual date, possible pa ring mag-file ngayon subject to SSS validation and complete medical documents.
