About the Nepal SSF calculator
The Social Security Fund (SSF) is Nepal's contributory retirement scheme for formal-sector employees. Each month the employee and the employer both pay a fixed share of the employee's basic salary into the fund. This calculator shows the employee's contribution, the employer's contribution, the total deposited, and a month-by-month breakdown of where the money goes.
How much is contributed
The employee contributes 11% of basic salary and the employer contributes 20%, for a combined 31%. Contributions are calculated on basic salary only — not on allowances such as dearness, house rent or transport — so the SSF amount can be much smaller than the gross salary.
Where the money goes
The employee's 11% splits into 10% to the provident fund and 1% as the Social Security Tax. The employer's 20% splits into 10% to the provident fund, an 8.33% gratuity component and a 1.67% additional contribution. The employer's share is an extra cost on top of the salary, while the employee's 11% is deducted from gross pay before take-home is calculated.
Why employers use the SSF
Registering with the SSF lets an employer meet the provident-fund and gratuity obligations of the Labour Act 2074 in a single scheme, and the fund also covers medical care and dependent benefits. Employers that are not registered with the SSF must provide gratuity and provident fund separately under the labour rules.
