What is Panama's Social Security Tax?

Panama’s Social Security tax, managed by the Caja de Seguro Social (CSS), funds pensions, health, and maternity benefits. Employees pay 9.75%, employers 13.25% (from April 1, 2025), plus 1.25% and 1.50% educational insurance tax, respectively, on wages with no cap. Non-compliance risks fines (B/.500–1,000). We simplify registration and compliance for businesses and freelancers.
