Regardless of whether we are self-employed or employed, as the years go by, we ask ourselves what our retirement will be like, not only how we are going to enjoy it, but also how much money we will have left once it ends our work life. To calculate the amount of the pension that we will receive, social security will be based on our contribution history of, with the last few years, almost our entire working life. Knowing this information is at the hand of anyone from home and in just a few seconds.
While employed workers contribute based on the agreement they have reached with the company, the self-employed are the ones who decide how much they want to pay every month, the more they pay, the more money they will receive when they retire, the same thing happens with workers with a foreign door The contribution base is also used to know how much money we will receive in case we go to unemployment at the end of our employment contract. As we can see, the contribution base is essential to know how much money we are going to receive whether we go unemployed or retire.
Social Security allows us to know both the contribution bases that we have accumulated and the time we have left to retire and how much money we will charge based on the prices of the last few years. The process is different in both cases, although both can be done directly from the social security website without leaving home.
