Published contribution structure

CNPS’s employer page, reviewed 9 August 2026, publishes these branch rates. This is a reference table, not a payroll calculation.

BranchWorkerEmployer

Retirement / old age6.3%7.7%

Family benefits—5%

Maternity insurance—0.75%

Work accident / occupational disease—2%-5%, assigned by sector risk

The employer is responsible for remitting both employer and worker shares. The retirement base and the other three branches do not use the same ceiling.

Safe CNPS workflow

1

Affiliate the employer

CNPS says affiliation begins when the first salaried worker is hired. Use the official employer procedure and submit documents only to CNPS through the route it specifies.

Read the official employer page.
CNPS assigns the employer number and the work-accident rate for the sector.

2

Declare each worker correctly

CNPS says the worker declaration is due on the first day of employment. A worker’s CNPS number is unique and permanent; an existing number should follow the worker to a new employer.

Use CNPS’s current forms page.
Never upload identity or family documents to AfroTools.

3

Apply the correct base to each branch

CNPS’s January 2023 notice sets, from 1 January 2023, a 75,000 FCFA monthly contribution floor for all branches, a 3,375,000 FCFA monthly retirement ceiling, and a 75,000 FCFA monthly ceiling for family, maternity and work-accident/occupational-disease branches.

The general employer page still shows legacy figures.Use the specific CNPS notice, then confirm no later rule or case-specific treatment applies before payroll.

4

Declare and remit through e-CNPS

CNPS states that employers with at least 20 workers pay monthly and those with fewer than 20 pay quarterly, within the first 15 days after the period. Confirm the schedule in the employer account and current guidance.

Use the official e-CNPS connection route.
DISA annual regularisation is a separate obligation; use the current CNPS form and instructions.

5

Keep independent-worker rules separate

CNPS publishes a separate independent-worker regime (RSTI). Do not apply salaried-worker shares, ceilings or employer workflow to an independent worker.

Open the official independent-worker page.

Common questions

Is this a CNPS calculator?

No. It does not accept salary data or calculate contributions. Use a source-bound payroll engine only after confirming the applicable base, ceiling and sector rate.

Is the work-accident rate the same for every employer?

No. CNPS publishes a 2%-5% range and says the assigned rate corresponds to the employer’s activity sector.

Is AfroTools affiliated with CNPS?

No. All registration, declarations, documents, account activation and payments happen with CNPS.

Understand the contribution branches, then declare only through CNPS
