How it is calculated
Monthly cost = gross salary + employer ISSS + employer pension + entered INCAF contribution + provisions + other costs. Employee deductions are not added again.
Example
With a $1,000.00 salary and no INCAF, provisions or other costs: employer ISSS $75.00 and employer pension $87.50; monthly cost $1,162.50.
What this calculation covers
An ordinary month's estimate for an active employee who makes contributions. Provisions are a budget you set: annual bonuses, vacation pay, severance and other obligations are not calculated automatically. The annual total multiplies this monthly scenario by 12; it is not a statutory annual settlement.
