Here's a clear example:
You are earning PHP30,000 and has contributed to the SSS for 40 years. According to the new SSS contribution table effective April 2019, his AMSC is PHP 20,000. Here’s how your SSS pension computation will look like.
Monthly Pension (MP) = PHP 300 + (20% of AMSC) + [2% of AMSC x 30 years (40 years – 10)] + PHP 1,000
MP = PHP 300 + (0.20 x 20,000) + (0.02 x 20,000 x 30) + PHP 1,000
MP = PHP 300 + PHP 4,000 + PHP 12,000 + PHP 1,000
Monthly SSS Pension = PHP 17,300
