In Fuzhou, Fujian, the social security payment base is not simply divided into fixed "grades" in a traditional sense. Instead, there are upper and lower limits set for different types of insured individuals. As of relevant policies in 2024 - 2025:
- For enterprise employees:
- The upper limit of the payment base for social security (including various insurances such as endowment insurance, medical insurance, etc.) is 22164 yuan/month, and the lower limit is 4043 yuan/month for endowment insurance (as of 2025, adjusted according to relevant documents), and 4433 yuan/month for medical insurance, etc. Since 4043 yuan/month < 8600 yuan/month < 22164 yuan/month, for enterprise employees, a social security base of 8600 yuan falls within the normal payment range between the upper and lower limits.
- For flexible - employed individuals:
- For endowment insurance, the payment base can be self - declared by individuals within the range of 4433 yuan - 22164 yuan/month starting from 2025. So, 8600 yuan also falls within this selectable range. For medical insurance, the payment base for flexible - employed individuals is 4433 yuan. But for endowment insurance contributions, 8600 yuan is a valid self - declared amount within the policy - permitted scope.
In general, a social security base of 8600 yuan in Fuzhou, Fujian, is neither at the upper limit nor the lower limit for both enterprise employees and flexible - employed individuals. It is within the reasonable payment range set by relevant policies, and the specific payment amount and treatment will be calculated based on this base in combination with different insurance types and corresponding contribution rates.
