Social insurance calculator
Work out the employee and employer shares of National Pension, health, long-term care and employment insurance from monthly pay.
Your details
Enter one month's pay without tax-free items such as the meal allowance.
The National Pension income limits change from the July payment, the long-term care ratio from the November 2026 payment, and the child deduction in the tax table from March.
It depends on the industry and only the employer pays it. Enter your company's rate in per mille, including the commuting accident rate, as set by the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service, to add it to the employer's share. Leave it empty to leave it out.

Good to know
- National Pension, health insurance and long-term care are split equally between the employee and the employer. For employment insurance, the 1.8% unemployment benefit premium is split in half and the job security and vocational skills premium is paid by the employer only.
- Industrial accident insurance is paid by the employer only, at a rate set for each industry by the Ministry of Employment and Labor. If you do not enter a rate, it is not included in the totals.
- Actual bills can differ. National Pension is charged on the standard monthly income set every July, and health insurance on the reported monthly pay, which is settled each April.
- Premiums drop amounts under 10 won, and National Pension standard monthly income drops amounts under 1,000 won.
