What Information Is Shown in the SSS Salary Loan Disclosure Statement?

If you’re an SSS member, your Salary Loan Disclosure Statement is the official document that shows exactly how your loan is computed — from approved amount, deductions, interest, to monthly amortization.
Even if you’re on maternity leave or a first-time borrower, understanding this statement helps you know your true take-home amount and avoid surprises later.


💡 Introduction: Why You Should Understand the Disclosure Statement

When you apply for an SSS Salary Loan, it’s easy to focus on the question, “Magkano ang makukuha ko?” But just like with a credit card, the real question is — “Magkano ang babayaran ko in total?”

That’s where the SSS Salary Loan Disclosure Statement comes in.
It’s not just a form — it’s your financial map showing every detail of your approved loan, interest, and repayment plan.

For first-time borrowers or new mothers using their SSS benefits, this document helps you:

  • Track exactly how your money moves
  • Avoid hidden charges or misunderstandings
  • Stay updated on your monthly payments

Let’s break it down clearly — no financial jargon, just easy explanations.


🧾 What Is the SSS Salary Loan Disclosure Statement?

The Disclosure Statement is an official summary of your approved SSS Salary Loan.
It details:

  • The loan amount you qualified for
  • Interest rate (8% per annum)
  • Service charge deduction (1%)
  • Pro-rated interest deduction (for partial months)
  • Amortization schedule
  • Total repayment period

In short: It’s your transparent proof of how your loan is calculated — from start to finish.


🧩 Parts of the SSS Salary Loan Disclosure Statement

Below are the major sections you’ll find in your disclosure form and what they mean in simple terms.

1️⃣ Borrower’s Details

Shows your:

  • Full name
  • SSS number
  • Employer name/ID
  • Date of approval

Tip: Always double-check these details. If your employer code or SSS number is wrong, your payments might not post correctly.


2️⃣ Loan Summary and Deductions

This section gives you the “math” behind your take-home amount.

Example:

DescriptionAmount (₱)
Approved Loan20,000.00
Service Fee (1%)-200.00
Pro-rated Interest (see below)-219.18
Net Proceeds (credited to your bank)₱19,580.82

That’s what will be sent to your UMID-ATM or bank account.


3️⃣ Understanding Pro-Rated Interest

This often confuses many borrowers — bakit may bawas agad kahit di pa nagsisimula ang hulog?

That’s because SSS charges pro-rated interest from your approval date until the end of the following month, before your actual first amortization starts.

Example Scenario:

  • Loan approval date: March 12, 2025
  • Amount approved: ₱20,000
  • Interest rate: 8% per annum

Step-by-step computation:

  1. Count days: March 12–31 (20 days) + April (30 days) = 50 days
  2. Annual interest = 8% × ₱20,000 = ₱1,600/year
  3. Daily interest = ₱1,600 ÷ 365 = ₱4.38/day
  4. 50 days × ₱4.38 = ₱219.18

✅ Result: ₱219.18 is deducted upfront before loan release.
This ensures fairness — you only pay interest for the actual pre-amortization period.


4️⃣ Interest Rate and Amortization Schedule

SSS Salary Loans charge 8% interest per year, computed on a diminishing balance.
That means as your balance decreases, your monthly interest also goes down.

Typical Payment Terms:

  • 1-year loan: 12 months to pay
  • 2-year loan: 24 months to pay

Payments are automatically deducted from your salary and remitted by your employer.


5️⃣ Payment Schedule Overview

The disclosure includes your monthly amortization table:

MonthDue DateAmountRemaining Balance
1May 2025₱904.00₱19,096.00
2Jun 2025₱904.00₱18,192.00

💡 Tip: Keep a copy of this schedule. It helps you track if your employer is remitting your payments correctly.


6️⃣ Total Amount Payable

At the bottom, you’ll see your total obligation — the full cost once interest and fees are added.

For example:

Borrowed ₱20,000 → Payback ₱21,696 over 24 months
That’s ₱1,696 total interest — much cheaper than a credit card or payday loan.
