How to calculate your SSNIT Contribution.
A lot of questions have been asked on the internet on SSNIT contribution calculation.
For that reason, I would like to describe (in a step by step manner) how you can easily calculate your contributions.
To successfully calculate your contribution, you must use the pension calculator provided by SSNIT.
The basis for calculating pension is age, an average of the best salaries for three months and the earned pension right (the rating given for monthly contribution).
The SSNIT contribution percentage rate for the pension right is 37.5%
The method used to calculate SSNIT contributions is as follows;
- Look at your age.
It is a statutory rule that one is not eligible for a full pension until they have attained 60 years and have contributed to the scheme for 15 years(18 months)
- Average the best 36 months of your employment. This means the finding the average of the best monthly salary you have been earning for three years
- Find out the “pension right” you have earned. This is the rating calculated according to the months you contributed to the scheme. Once you have your average best salary for 3 years and your pension right, you can now go ahead and calculate SSNIT contribution as follows
- The average best salary for 36 months(X) multiplied by three (3) years divided by the pension right. ((X × 3 YEARS) ÷ pension right.)
If you have any questions regarding the calculation, comment below. Thank you.
Please if my last three years average salary is Ghc 1500, how much monthly pension pay will I get? And how much lump sum will be given to me?
I am now 57 years old.
Hi,
I admire your commitment to helping others. I found a typo that might have escaped your editing eyes; 15 years SSNIT would be 180 months so me seeing 18 clarifies the omission of a zero (0). Also SSNTI must be another typo for SSNIT.
