Original title: it's about income! 31 provinces announced the social security payment base: the two places decreased by more than 15%
Closely related to manual capital, the topic of social security payment has been widely concerned. The China Singapore Jingwei client found that at present, all 31 provinces have announced the social security payment base in 2019, and the social security payment base in most regions is lower than last year. Jiangsu and Yunnan provinces ranked the top two in terms of the decline in social security payment base in 2019, with a decline of more than 15%.
Most provinces reduce the social security payment base
Since May 1 this year, the comprehensive plan for reducing social insurance rates issued by the general office of the State Council has been officially implemented, requiring a new calculation method to determine the average wage and payment base.
The plan determines that the average wage of employees in full caliber urban units weighted by the average wage of employees in urban non-private units and urban private units shall be used as the indicator for verifying the upper and lower limits of employee contribution base, and individual industrial and commercial households and flexible employees can voluntarily choose an appropriate contribution base within a certain range.
At present, 31 provinces have announced the social security payment base in 2019. Specifically, Shanghai (8211 yuan), Beijing (7855 yuan) and Tibet (7815 yuan) rank among the top three. The upper limit of the payment base of these three provinces also exceeds 20000 yuan, of which Shanghai is the highest, 24633 yuan.
In terms of changes, most regions have reduced the payment base by different ranges. Jiangsu and Yunnan provinces ranked the top two in terms of the decline of social security payment base, both of which decreased by 15.5%; In addition, Qinghai, Chongqing, Ningxia, Hunan and other seven provinces also fell by more than 10%.
It is understood that before the implementation of the plan in May, the upper and lower limits of the payment base were determined by 300% and 60% of the average wages of on-the-job employees of Urban Non private units in various regions in the previous year. You Jun, Vice Minister of the Ministry of human resources and social security, introduced at this year's regular policy briefing of the State Council that due to the small statistical range and high index level of the average wage of on-the-job employees in non private units, in order to determine the upper and lower limits of the payment base, the problem of excessive burden caused by too high level occurred in the actual operation process.
For the average wage of employees in full caliber urban units, he said that it can more reasonably reflect the actual average wage level of insured personnel, and use it as an indicator to determine the upper and lower limits of the payment base. The payment base of employees with lower wage level can be reduced accordingly, and the burden of payment will be reduced.
In the view of Su Hainan, vice president of China labor society, adjusting the social security payment base is equal to increasing the current disposable income for low-income workers, so it is a good thing. At the same time, after the payment base is reduced, it can also expand the coverage of social security payment and include more small and micro enterprises and their workers in the field of social security.
Hubei, Liaoning and other provinces are classified by region
Zhongxin Jingwei client found that the specific provisions on the social security payment base of each province are not completely consistent. For example, Beijing and Sichuan have announced two social security payment bases. Among them, the upper limit of the payment base of pension and unemployment insurance in Beijing is 23565 yuan and the lower limit is 3613 yuan; The upper limit of medical and maternity insurance is 27786 yuan and the lower limit is 5557 yuan. The lower limit of the individual monthly payment base of basic endowment insurance for enterprise employees in Sichuan Province is 2697 yuan, the lower limit of the individual monthly payment base of endowment insurance for organs and institutions is 3236 yuan, and the upper limit of the monthly payment base of both is 16179 yuan.
In addition, due to the differences in the degree of economic development among regions in the province, some provinces have adopted the method of grading by region, and use different social security payment bases.
Taking Hubei Province as an example, the 2019 social security payment base standard of the province is implemented according to three levels. Among them, Wuhan and provincial are the first grade, and the monthly standard is 6233 yuan; Huangshi, Shiyan and Xiangyang are the second grade, with a monthly standard of 4800 yuan; Jingzhou, Ezhou and other 9 cities are the third grade, with a monthly standard of 4500 yuan.
The human resources and Social Security Department of Hubei Province makes it clear that the employer shall report the payment base of its employees within the upper limit (i.e. 300%) and lower limit (i.e. 60%) of the social security payment base standard of the insured place. If individual industrial and commercial households and flexible employees participate in social insurance, the insured place shall set several grades within the upper and lower limits of the local social security payment base standard, and individuals shall choose one grade as the base to declare payment.
Similar to Hubei, Liaoning Province is also divided into three grades by region, using monthly standards such as 4801 yuan, 4513 yuan and 4321 yuan as the payment base.
Guangdong Province is divided into four types of areas, using four different average wage standards to determine the lower limit of the basic endowment insurance payment base for enterprise employees in the area. The upper limit of the payment base of endowment insurance for organs and institutions and enterprise employees is still 300% of the average wage of employees in full caliber urban units in the province in the previous year.
Shanghai's social security payment base increased by 15%
Zhongxin Jingwei client found that the social security payment base of Shanghai, Tianjin, Zhejiang, Xinjiang, Tibet, Guizhou and other places in 2019 increased compared with 2018, and Shanghai (8211 yuan) increased by 15.1%, ranking the first.
It is worth noting that 8211 yuan is not the average wage of employees in full caliber urban units in Shanghai last year. Previously, Shanghai issued a notice to adjust the average wage caliber to reduce the burden on enterprises. According to the notice, in 2018, the average wage of employees in urban units in Shanghai was 105176 yuan / year (8765 yuan / month). In order to effectively reduce the burden on enterprises, the upper and lower limits of social security payment base in Shanghai will adopt the method of three-year transition. From May 2019, Shanghai will take 8211 yuan / month as the reference level for calculating the upper and lower limits of the social security contribution base, which will be consistent with the average wage after the three-year transition period.
Although the social security payment base of Tianjin in 2019 has increased compared with last year, it is also specially stipulated that the upper limit of the social security payment base in 2019 is 300% (17613 yuan) of the average wage, while the lower limit remains the standard in 2018 (3364 yuan).
When it comes to the reasons for the rise in the social security base of these provinces, Zhang Yinghua, executive researcher of the world social security research center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that under normal circumstances, the average social wage of each province is rising every year, which also increases the payment base of each Province. After adopting the new accounting method, the payment base of each province either decreases or decreases. Although the base of the above-mentioned provinces is still rising this year, the increase may be much smaller than when the new method is not adopted.
For Shanghai, which has a large increase in the social security contribution base, some analysts say that the social average wage of employees in private units in Shanghai is high. Under the weighted calculation of the average wage of employees in Urban Non private units, it has driven the overall social average wage rise.
