Work-Related SSS Benefit Tool
SSS Employees' Compensation Calculator 2026
Check possible EC benefits for a work-related sickness, injury, disability or death.
EC is separate from Regular SSS. The key first question is whether the sickness, injury, disability or death is work-connected.
PPD scheduled duration
For scheduled periods of 12 months or less, SSS may pay the income benefit as lump sum or monthly pension.
EC death / survivorship estimate
Final EC pension is determined by SSS/ECC. This tool uses the published EC pension relationship and current fixed EC additions, but does not decide compensability or official AMSC/CYS.
This is separate from the Regular SSS Funeral Benefit and applies only to an EC-compensable death.
Possible EC medical / rehabilitation benefit
EC may cover eligible medical expenses, hospitalization, surgery, appliances and rehabilitation.
There is no single flat calculator amount because reimbursement depends on actual eligible expenses, medical records and the applicable reimbursement schedules.
Filing reminder
EC claims generally have a 3-year filing period. Employee notification to the employer is generally required within 5 days unless the contingency happened during working hours, at the workplace, with the employer's knowledge.
What is Employees' Compensation?
The Employees' Compensation Program provides benefits for covered workers and/or their dependents when a sickness, injury, disability or death is work-related.
For private-sector workers, SSS administers the EC claim. EC is separate from the Regular SSS program.
Who is covered?
- Private-sector employees
- Kasambahays / household employees
- Sea-based OFWs
- Self-employed SSS members under applicable EC coverage
EC contribution
| EC MSC | EC contribution |
|---|---|
| Up to ₱14,500 | ₱10 |
| ₱15,000 and above | ₱30 |
For employees/kasambahays, the employer pays EC. The same current EC contribution amounts apply to self-employed members.
Examples of work-related accidents
- At the workplace
- While performing official duties
- Outside the workplace under employer instruction
- Going to or coming home from work
- In a company shuttle
- During a company-sponsored activity

Employees should generally notify the employer within 5 days. Notice is not necessary when the event happened during working hours, at the workplace and with the employer's knowledge.
Can Regular SSS and EC both be paid?
For private-sector workers, receiving a Regular SSS benefit does not by itself bar a separate EC benefit when the disability or death is work-related and EC requirements are met.
