Philippines Tax System Overview

The Philippines tax system is governed by the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law, which provides progressive tax rates for individual income earners. Understanding these tax brackets and mandatory contributions is essential for Filipino workers to accurately calculate their take-home pay and plan their finances effectively.

In addition to income tax, Filipino employees are required to contribute to three major social security programs: the Social Security System (SSS) for retirement and disability benefits, PhilHealth for healthcare coverage, and Pag-IBIG Fund for housing loans and savings. These contributions are automatically deducted from your salary and are mandatory for all employees in the Philippines.
