YMPE Pension Calculation
The YMPE pension calculation selected from the drop-down option on the Based on option in the SSC payroll configuration screen. Since the required percentages can change, the system is designed for manual entry.
It is based off employee rate and worked hours. Takes the hourly rate of the employee and uses this to determine what percentage should be used.
Example 1- Employee with rate under YMPE rate. In this example the Hourly YMPE is 30.10. The below percent is 8.125% / to Above percent is 10.665%.
If the employee has a rate of $17.50 and works 75 hours, they will get the 8.125% rate (below) because it is not above 30.10 hourly. The calculation would be Rate X Hours X Contribution rate / Populate the following fields. $17.50 x 75 x 8.125% = $106.64
Example 2- Employee with rate over the YMPE. When the rate is OVER the YMPE rate there are two calculations. In this example the Hourly YMPE is 30.10. The below rate is 5.3% / to Above rate is 7.0% The employee has a base rate of $35.00 and the YMPE is 30.10. The first part will be up to 30.10 at the 5.3% 30.10*75*5.3%=119.65 The second part will be the remainder of the rate of $4.90 at 7.0% (Subtract employee rate of $35.00 from the YMPE rate of 30.10) 4.90*75*5.3%=25.73 The total amount is the 2 calculations sum of $119.65 and $25.73 = $145.38
System Setup: On the Payroll Rules screen, right click in the left section and select Add.
▪Click Actions icon and select Add.
