1. Calculation of the Payment Amount
The monthly contribution amount by the farmer shall be calculated based on the monthly minimum wage of labors announced by the Ministry of Labor, multiplied by the payment ratio. The payment ratio shall be decided by farmers within a range of 10%, and shall be an integer.
[Example]: Farmers' Association A declares that Farmer A has started making payment on August 1, 2026. The payment ratio is 10%. The minimum wage of labors announced at that time is NTD29,500. The amount to be made by Farmer A for August 2026 shall be: NTD29,500 x 10% x 2 = NTD5,900.（Farmer A bears 40% of NT$5,900, namely NT$2,360. After Farmer A makes the payment in accordance with the regulations, the competent authority will deposit the remaining 60% of the contribution, namely NT$5,900 minus NT$2,360, which equals NT$3,540, into Farmer A’s individual Farmer Pension savings account.）
