Anyone asking: Can I still reach ₱70,000 or the maximum maternity benefit?
Default due date: 6 months ahead (planning-friendly). Change it if your due date is already known.
Step 1: Choose Due Date
Employee mode uses the employee share only when syncing from contribution to MSC.
This prevents the months changing silently when you adjust the due date.
Step 2: Enter Your Posted Contributions (Past Months)
Qualifying Period: -
Fill in the months that already happened and were or can be considered as posted contributions. Future months will be shown only after you click Calculate Max Plan.
For Employee, contribution means employee share only. For other membership types, contribution means full posted contribution.
Planner months ahead: these are future months inside your qualifying period. The planner can suggest what to pay here to qualify for maternity benefit and, if still possible, improve your estimated result toward the maximum.
Important: SSS maternity benefit requires at least 3 monthly contributions within the qualifying period. This planner will show ₱0 if you cannot reach 3 contributions before the qualifying cutoff.
How to Reach the Maximum SSS Maternity Benefit
Make sure you still have enough time to reach at least 3 contributions
Make sure the strongest months fall within the correct qualifying period
Increase only the months that can still affect the top 6 MSC computation
Avoid paying months that no longer improve the final benefit
