What are the Social Security Contributions (Seguridad Social) required for Employers in Argentina?

In Argentina, employers must make several mandatory contributions to the social security system, including:

  • Retirement (Jubilación): Employers contribute 10.17% of the employee’s gross salary to the pension system.
  • Health Insurance (Obra Social): Employers contribute 6% to the employee’s healthcare coverage, often through private providers such as OSDE.
  • Life Insurance (Seguro de Vida Obligatorio): Employers must provide a life insurance policy, typically through a group insurance plan.


Additionally, employers are responsible for deducting social security contributions from employee salaries and contributing to social security, health insurance, and unemployment insurance on their behalf. These contributions ensure employees receive essential benefits and coverage.
