Costa Rica CCSS Planilla
Monthly social-security planilla SICERE file and contribution register, straight from Odoo HR
Build the monthly planilla ordinaria for the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (CCSS) directly in Odoo. The module computes every employee (cuota obrera) and employer (cuota patronal) contribution, produces the fixed-width SICERE text file ready to upload to the CCSS Oficina Virtual, and a full reconciliation register. You file with your own CCSS credentials — no data leaves your system automatically.
What it does
SICERE planilla file
Generates the fixed-width planilla text file (one line per worker
plus an employer header) following the documented SICERE column
rules: alphanumeric fields space-padded right, numeric fields
zero-padded left, salaries in whole colones, named
pla_AAAAMM_<patrono>.txt.
Full contribution engine
Computes SEM, IVM, Banco Popular, Asignaciones Familiares (FODESAF), IMAS, INA, the Fondo de Capitalización Laboral and Pensión Complementaria for each worker, with the 2026 statutory rates — all editable per company.
Reconciliation register
A per-worker CSV register laying out each component and the totals to remit, so payroll can reconcile the upload against the ledger before paying the caja.
Remittance summary
A one-click summary wizard groups the planilla totals by concept (SEM, IVM, FODESAF, IMAS, INA, FCL, ROP, Banco Popular, INS) so you know exactly how much goes where.
2026 contribution rates
Statutory rates effective 1 January 2026 (after the CCSS actuarial IVM adjustment). Every percentage is editable on the company so you keep pace with the law — nothing is locked.
| Concept | Employee (Obrera) | Employer (Patronal) |
|---|---|---|
| SEM (Enfermedad y Maternidad) | 5.50% | 9.25% |
| IVM (Invalidez, Vejez y Muerte) | 4.33% | 5.58% |
| Banco Popular (Ley 7983) | 1.00% | 0.25% + 0.25% |
| Asignaciones Familiares (FODESAF) | — | 5.00% |
| IMAS | — | 0.50% |
| INA | — | 1.50% |
| Fondo de Capitalización Laboral (FCL) | — | 3.00% |
| Pensión Complementaria (ROP / FPC) | — | 1.50% |
| Total CCSS | 10.83% | 26.83% |
INS Riesgos del Trabajo (variable by economic activity) is tracked for full employer cost; it is settled with the INS, not in the CCSS planilla total.

Compliance & disclosure
This module computes statutory deductions locally and produces the SICERE file and register. It does not transmit any data to a third party: you upload the file to the CCSS Oficina Virtual with your own account (BYOK). All rates carry the current 2026 statutory defaults; confirm them against the latest official CCSS guidance before running live payroll.
