Rule applied: conventional base indexed to the IAS (articles 119 and 120 of the Contributory Code) with the 28.3% rate of article 121. This regime carries no unemployment protection, and holiday and Christmas bonuses pay no contributions.
Each amount is rounded to the cent on the base, as in the official ISS table, so the two shares may differ from the total by one cent.
Estimate for the domestic-service regime in mainland Portugal. The employer pays the whole amount in one go (from the 10th to the 20th of the following month) and deducts the worker's share from the pay. Out of scope, explained in the article: the conditions of the real-salary option (written agreement, medical certificate, age), the mandatory work-accident insurance, IRS withholding and the bonus amounts (holiday, Christmas) themselves.
Educational estimate, not advice. The official amounts to pay are issued by Social Security. Always confirm on Segurança Social Direta.
