How Do I Check My Remaining Balance in the SSS Loan Statement?

Ever wondered how much balance you still owe on your SSS Salary Loan? 😅 Don’t worry — you’re not alone! Many members get confused when checking their loan statement because the amounts don’t always match what they expect. Sometimes payments take a while to post, or the “remaining balance” includes interest and penalties they didn’t notice.

In this friendly guide, we’ll explain how to check your SSS loan balance, understand what each figure means, and avoid confusion when monitoring your payments — all in simple, easy-to-follow steps.

💡 Quick Refresher: What Is the SSS Salary Loan?

The SSS Salary Loan is a short-term financial assistance program for employed, self-employed, and voluntary members of the Social Security System (SSS). It’s designed to help you cover personal needs — whether it’s school expenses, bills, or emergencies — and you can repay it through easy monthly deductions.

There are two types of loans you can apply for:

One-month salary loan – Based on your average monthly salary credit (AMSC) over the past 12 months, or up to ₱25,000 (whichever is lower).
Two-month salary loan – Twice your AMSC, or up to ₱50,000 (whichever is lower).

To qualify:

For 1-month loan: at least 36 posted contributions, with 6 contributions within the last 12 months.
For 2-month loan: at least 72 posted contributions, with 6 contributions within the last 12 months.

📅 Loan Term: 24 months (2 years)
💰 Interest Rate: 8% per annum (based on the diminishing principal)
⚠️ Penalty for late payments: 1% per month

📱 How to Check Your SSS Loan Balance Online

Thanks to digital updates, you can now check your remaining SSS Salary Loan balance anytime through these methods:

1️⃣ Via My.SSS Online Account

Here’s the most convenient method for most members:

Go to the official SSS website and log in to your My.SSS account.
On the main menu, click “Inquiry” → “Loans Info” → “Salary Loan.”
You’ll see a detailed view of your loan, including:
- Original loan amount
- Total amount paid
- Remaining balance
- Interest and penalties (if any)

You can also download a copy of your Loan Statement of Account (SOA) directly from this page.

📝 Tip: Always compare the posting date of your latest payment with your payroll cutoff. Sometimes your employer’s remittance takes 1–2 months to reflect in the system.

2️⃣ Through the SSS Mobile App

If you’re always on the go, the SSS Mobile App makes balance checking super easy.

Download and open the SSS Mobile App.
Log in with your My.SSS credentials.
Tap “Loans” → “Salary Loan.”
Your outstanding balance will appear right away.

This is the fastest way to check, especially if you just want to confirm your balance without printing your full statement.

3️⃣ Via Email or Branch Visit (Optional)

If your online access is locked or your account shows outdated info, you can also:

Email SSS through their official address with your full name, SSS number, and inquiry details, OR
Visit the nearest SSS branch and request a copy of your latest Loan Statement of Account.

Bring a valid ID and your SSS number to avoid delays.

🧾 How to Read Your SSS Loan Statement

Your Loan Statement contains several columns that might look confusing at first glance. Let’s break it down:

Field	Description
Loan Granted	The total amount approved by SSS before deductions
Service Fee (1%)	Automatically deducted upon release
Pro-rated Interest	Interest covering the approval date to the end of the following month
Net Proceeds	The actual amount you received in your account
Monthly Amortization	The fixed monthly amount you’ll pay over 24 months
Total Payment	The total amount you’ve paid so far
Outstanding Balance	Your remaining unpaid principal + interest (if any)

🧮 Compute Your Remaining Balance Using the SSS Salary Loan Calculator

If you want to double-check how your payments affect your remaining balance, you can use the SSS Salary Loan Calculator.

Here’s what it does:

Computes your eligible loan amount based on your salary and contributions
Estimates monthly amortization for 1-year or 2-year loans
Helps you track how much should remain after each month of payment

It’s a super handy way to simulate your loan balance, especially if your My.SSS account hasn’t updated yet.

📉 Why Your Remaining Balance Might Not Match

Sometimes, your loan statement shows a higher (or lower) amount than expected. Don’t panic — here are the usual reasons why:

🕓 1. Payment Posting Delay

Employers usually remit SSS loan payments monthly, but sometimes posting can take 1–2 months to reflect.

💸 2. Late Remittance

If your employer pays SSS contributions late, your amortization posting also delays, causing your remaining balance to appear higher.

⚠️ 3. Penalties or Interest Accrual

If you missed or delayed payments, 1% penalty per month applies to your overdue amount.

🔁 4. Loan Renewal or Overlap

If you renewed your loan before fully paying the old one, SSS automatically deducts your old balance from the new loan proceeds. This can make the numbers seem confusing.

💰 Example Computation

Let’s say you were approved for a ₱20,000 salary loan with a 24-month term.

Interest: 8% per annum
Monthly amortization: roughly ₱900–₱950/month
Service charge: ₱200 (1%)
Pro-rated interest: ₱219.18 (based on approval date and coverage)

After 12 months of on-time payments, your remaining balance will have decreased to around ₱9,000–₱10,000, depending on exact posting dates and rounding.

Using the official SSS Salary Loan Calculator, you can easily simulate this and confirm your amortization breakdown.

📆 How Often Is the SSS Loan Statement Updated?

Online (My.SSS): Updates once your employer’s payment is successfully posted (usually 1–2 months delay).
Mobile App: Mirrors the same posting schedule as the web version.
Branch/Printed Statement: Reflects up-to-date posting when requested manually.

If you recently paid but it’s not yet visible, don’t worry — it just means the remittance hasn’t been processed by the system yet.

🙋 What to Do If Your Loan Payments Don’t Reflect

Check with your employer’s HR or payroll if the loan payment for the last month was already remitted.
Verify your payment history in My.SSS under “Contributions” → “Loans Payment.”
If more than 3 months have passed and your payment still doesn’t appear, file an inquiry via the SSS Member Portal or visit a branch.
Bring your pay slip or proof of deduction for faster processing.
