Calculating the monthly SFSS component
Calculate the weekly equivalent of monthly earnings by obtaining the sum of the monthly earnings subject to withholding – if the result is an amount ending in 33 cents, add 1 cent – and
multiply this amount by 3/13. Ignore any cents in the result and add 99 cents. Determine the rounded weekly SFSS component applicable to the weekly equivalent of earnings, and then multiply the result by 13/3 and round to the nearest dollar.
