The SSS Maternity Benefit is a daily cash allowance granted to eligible female members who are unable to work due to childbirth, miscarriage, or emergency termination of pregnancy. This benefit is based on your Monthly Salary Credits (MSCs) and number of qualifying months paid before your expected due date.
How SSS Maternity Calculator Works?
Our tool follows the official SSS guidelines and uses the following process:
-
Enter Your Estimated Due Date (EDD):
This helps determine the semester of contingency, the six-month period when the delivery is expected. -
View the Qualifying Period:
The tool automatically shows the 12-month period before the semester. You must have paid at least 3 contributions during this period to qualify. -
Select the Type of Maternity Leave:
-
Normal Delivery (105 days)
-
Solo Parent (120 days)
-
Miscarriage or ETP (60 days)
-
-
Enter Monthly Salary Credits (MSC):
Input your MSCs for the last 12 months. The calculator will identify your top 6 months, average them, and compute your Average Daily Salary Credit (ADSC). -
See Your Estimated Benefit:
The total benefit is calculated by multiplying your ADSC by the applicable number of leave days.
The SSS Maternity Calculator is a practical tool that helps expectant mothers easily estimate their maternity benefits and plan their finances more effectively. By providing accurate computations based on contributions and eligibility, it ensures that members have a clear understanding of what support they can receive during maternity leave. While different from sickness benefits, both programs highlight the commitment of SSS to safeguard the welfare of its members during life’s important moments.
