SSS Salary Loan Eligibility + Calculator
Follow the guided steps below to check if you may qualify and estimate how much you may borrow.
- Employee / Kasambahay: contribution field means your employee share / payslip deduction.
- Voluntary / Self-Employed / OFW / Non-Working Spouse / similar: contribution field means your full contribution paid.

Step 1: Check Your Total Posted Contributions
This helps determine whether you may qualify for a 1-month or 2-month SSS salary loan.
Step 2: Check the Latest 12-Month Period
You need at least 6 paid months inside this same latest 12-month period.
Step 3: Enter the Latest 12 Monthly Slots
This step estimates the maximum loan amount using the average of the latest 12 monthly slots, always divided by 12, then rounded up to the next higher MSC.

How This SSS Salary Loan Calculator Estimates Your Loan Amount
This calculator is designed to help you estimate the maximum SSS salary loan amount you may be able to borrow based on the latest 12 monthly slots you enter.
In simple terms, the page checks your eligibility first, then uses your entered Monthly Salary Credit (MSC) or contribution values to estimate how much your possible salary loan may be.
Summary of the amount logic used here
- The estimate focuses on the latest 12-month period
- You need at least 6 paid months inside that same 12-month period
- The average is always divided by 12
- The average MSC is then rounded up to the next higher MSC step
- A 1-month loan uses one times that rounded MSC
- A 2-month loan uses two times that rounded MSC
Why your estimated loan may look lower than expected
- You may have blank months inside the latest 12 monthly slots
- You may have fewer than 12 paid months in the period
- Your posted MSC may be lower than you assumed
- You may be entering only your employee share instead of the full contribution, or vice versa
- Your recent paid months may be enough to qualify, but still not enough to produce a high average MSC

SSS Salary Loan Rejected? Common Reasons and Fixes
If your SSS salary loan application is rejected, delayed, or the amount looks lower than expected, the issue is often one of the following.
1. Not enough total posted contributions
You may not yet meet the minimum 36 total posted contributions for a 1-month loan or 72 total posted contributions for a 2-month loan.
2. Fewer than 6 paid months in the latest 12-month period
Even if your total contributions are enough, you still need at least 6 paid months inside the latest 12-month period checked by the calculator.
3. Wrong contribution interpretation
Employees should enter the employee share / payslip deduction only, while voluntary or self-paying members should enter the full contribution paid.
4. Employer certification or disbursement issues
Even if you qualify, salary loan processing may still slow down due to employer certification, disbursement account problems, or posting issues.
What users usually ask after using this calculator
Most visitors do not stop at the estimate. They usually want to know what happens next: how long release takes, how to check the statement, what the voucher means, and why their amount is lower.
SSS Salary Loan FAQ
This calculator uses 36 total posted contributions for a possible 1-month salary loan and 72 total posted contributions for a possible 2-month salary loan. Passing this total contribution rule is only the first check.
You also need at least 6 paid months inside the latest 12-month period before the application month. After checking your estimate, use the SSS Salary Loan Hub for related guides about release, voucher, statement, and employer certification issues.
You need at least 6 paid months inside the same latest 12-month period used by the calculator. For example, if you apply in March 2026, the relevant period is usually March 2025 to February 2026.
This is why older contributions may help your total contribution count but may not help the latest-12-month requirement. If your result is low, read why your SSS salary loan amount may be lower than expected.
Yes. This calculator always divides the total MSC of the latest 12 monthly slots by 12, even if only 6 months have payment values. Blank months reduce the average.
This is one common reason a member may qualify but still see a lower loan estimate. The amortization table below the result helps you see the estimated monthly payment once the loan amount is computed.
If you are an employee or kasambahay, enter only your employee share or the amount deducted from your payslip. Do not add the employer share because the calculator already interprets the contribution field based on your selected member type.
If you only know the full contribution or MSC, you can still enter the MSC field directly. To understand employee share versus total contribution better, use the SSS Contribution Calculator.
The calculator uses the latest 12 monthly slots you enter, divides the total MSC by 12, rounds the average up to the next higher MSC step, then computes a 1-month or 2-month loan based on your selected loan type.
It also estimates the service fee, net proceeds, total payable, and 24-month amortization schedule. If you are checking what happens after approval, read how many days SSS salary loan release may take after approval.
The first loan is usually checked as a 1-month salary loan if you meet the required contribution count. The actual estimate depends on your average MSC from the latest 12 monthly slots, so two members with enough total contributions may still see different results.
Use the calculator above first. Then check the SSS Salary Loan Hub if you need guides about loan statement, voucher, approval, or release timing.
Common reasons include blank months in the latest 12 monthly slots, lower posted MSC, fewer paid months in the period, outstanding loan balance, or entering the wrong contribution type for your member category.
