BPJS Kesehatan is a transformation of PT Asuransi Kesehatan (Persero) or (Askes). This government program provides basic health protection for all Indonesian people, without exception.

The increase in BPJS health costs makes business owners have to work even harder so that they can still provide proper salaries to employees because the deductions from the company's BPJS health contributions are increasing.

How is the BPJS Healthcare Contribution Calculated for Employees?

The following are the main points of calculating the Employee Health BPJS:

  • BPJS Health contributions are 5% of wages / salaries.
  • The company bears 4% and the employees pay 1% of wages / salaries.
  • What is meant by wages / salaries are basic salaries and fixed allowances.
  • The highest limit of wages as a basis for calculation is IDR 12 million.
  • The lowest limit of wages as a basis for calculation is the UMK / UMP.
  • Contribution includes benefits for 5 people (employees, husband / wife, 3 children).
  • Additional family members are subject to an additional 1% fee per person.

Example of Calculating BPJS Employment Contribution for UMR Jakarta

# Company BPJS allowance: 4% x IDR 6,000,000 = IDR 240,000

# Salary deduction for employee BPJS contributions: 1% x IDR 6,000,000 = IDR 60,000

Total BPJS fees: IDR 300,000

Example For employees who wish to add more family members as health insurance beneficiaries, the salary will be reduced by 2%.

# Company BPJS allowance: 4% x IDR 6,000,000 = IDR 240,000

# Salary deduction for employee BPJS contributions: 2% x IDR 6,000,000 = IDR 120,000

Total BPJS fees: IDR 360,000
