What needs to be understood

BPJS is not a single deduction. It is a group of components with different cost bases and different employer/employee splits.

Payroll checklist

  • check the provincial wage floor
  • check the JKK risk class
  • estimate employer cost
  • align it with the salary structure

Risk of a bad setup

A wrong risk class or salary base can make payroll estimates materially different from the real employer cost.
