Frequently asked questions

How much is social security in Thailand per month?

Section 33 employees pay 5% of their wage, calculated on a base capped between ฿1,650 and ฿15,000. So the most you pay is ฿750 a month, matched by an equal ฿750 from your employer.

What is the maximum social security contribution?

The wage base is capped at ฿15,000, so at the standard 5% rate the maximum employee contribution is ฿750 per month, or ฿9,000 a year. Earning more than ฿15,000 does not increase what you pay.

How much does the employer and government contribute?

Your employer matches your contribution exactly — up to ฿750 a month. The government adds 2.75% of the wage base, up to ฿412.50 a month, so the fund receives up to ฿1,912.50 for each insured person.

How is the old-age pension calculated?

With at least 15 years (180 months) of contributions, the monthly pension is roughly 20% of your average wage over the last 60 months (capped at ฿15,000), plus 1.5% for each year beyond 15. Fewer years means a lump-sum gratuity instead.

Is the social security rate always 5%?

The standard employee rate is 5%, but the government sometimes announces temporary reductions during economic relief measures. You can change the rate in this calculator to match any reduced-rate period.
