The Social Security System (SSS) Old vs New Contribution Table
Effective January 2021, the monthly SSS contribution will be increased… again. One of the reasons for this increase is to extend the fund life until the year 2045. But this will not be the only time that SSS will increase its rate. There will be a 1% increase until the year 2025. If you are asking why this is done, it is because of the pension hikes that was implemented.

This is because of the Universal Health Care law that gives members and non philhealth members alike, avail the outpatient packages (the provisions are currently being finalized) and immediate eligibility to benefits during confinement/hospitalization.

BDO Nomura Buy and Sell Calculator
In the spirit of fairness, I need to take into account other stock market platforms also. That is why I made this calculator. To all users of this calculator, if there are any changes with the fees. Let me know so that I can update. It would also help, if you include the fees itself when you comment.
I've also been planning to create similar calculators for other platforms. However, since I don't have an account, I can't access their fees table. So I request other platform users to comment the buying and selling fees below.
