What is the Jordan Social Security (SSC) Contribution Calculator?
The Jordan Social Security (SSC) Contribution Calculator is a dedicated payroll planning utility designed for employees and employers in Jordan to compute mandatory social security deductions in accordance with the Social Security Corporation (SSC) regulations.
In the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, social security is a compulsory national insurance scheme administered by the Social Security Corporation. It is designed to provide workers with financial security against risks such as retirement, old age, work-related accidents, disability, maternity, and unemployment.
Under the current Jordanian SSC laws, contributions are calculated as a percentage of the employee's gross basic salary (plus specific qualifying allowances):
• Employee Contribution (7.5%): The portion deducted directly from the worker's monthly paycheck.
• Employer Contribution (14.25%): The portion paid by the employer on behalf of the worker, which is divided into retirement pension (11.0%), work injuries (2.0%), maternity (0.75%), and unemployment insurance (0.5%).
• Total Contribution (21.75%): The combined rate paid monthly to the SSC.
There is a maximum basic salary cap subject to SSC contributions (adjusted annually for inflation), and a minimum wage threshold (JOD 260) to protect lower-income earners. Participation is mandatory for all private and public sector employees, as well as voluntary for Omani and other Arab expatriates residing in Jordan under specific residency rules.
This calculator computes your monthly employee deductions, employer contributions, and details how the funds are distributed across the retirement, maternity, and injury insurance categories.
