Your maternity benefit

Average of your 6 highest MSCs in the qualifying year. Capped at ₱20,000.

Estimated maternity benefit
₱0.00

Requires at least 3 contributions in the 12 months before the semester of delivery, plus a maternity notification to SSS. Your official amount is computed from your actual posted MSCs.

The computation, step by step

  1. Find your 6 highest monthly salary credits in the 12-month period before the semester of your delivery (each capped at ₱20,000 for this computation).
  2. Divide the total by 180 — that's your average daily salary credit (ADSC).
  3. Multiply by your paid days: 105 (live birth, normal or CS), 120 (solo parent), or 60 (miscarriage).
Benefit = (6 highest MSCs ÷ 180) × days — at MSC ₱20,000: ₱666.67/day × 105 = ₱70,000

The "₱70K maternity" everyone talks about

The viral "70K from SSS" is exactly this ceiling: 6 MSCs at the ₱20,000 cap gives ₱70,000 for 105 days. Contributing above ₱20,000 MSC does not raise it — that money goes to WISP instead. What matters is having your MSC at ₱20,000 in the right months — check the cost on our contribution calculator.
