China’s social security system constitutes five different types of insurance and contributions to the mandatory housing fund. China Payroll explains how social security in China is calculated, what are employer obligations, and how it impacts foreign workers.
China’s social security law was promulgated by the central government, but its administration and specific details are governed by local authorities. For instance, for each benefit, the employee and employer contributions rates and base differ as per the local jurisdiction and are subject to annual changes and reforms.
What makes the payroll in China quite complex is that the contribution rates for social insurance and housing fund are updated every year and change according to city jurisdiction, for example, Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou have different contribution rates.
