Summary
How to Use Our Philippines Tax Calculator
This calculator estimates take-home on a single employed compensation salary: TRAIN Law income tax plus the employee shares of SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG. Optional fields cover taxable and non-taxable allowances and night differential (10% of hourly, 10 PM–6 AM). It is not the 8% optional tax, percentage tax, or VAT for self-employed freelancers.
Figures are estimates. SSS here is a simplified 5% of monthly salary credit (cap ₱35,000), not the official MSC table. PhilHealth employee share is 2.5% of a ₱10,000–₱100,000 base; this calculator does not apply the floor. Pag-IBIG is 2% of fund salary, max ₱200. To convert pay periods or currencies first, use the salary converter.

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. This calculator uses those brackets plus employee SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG on a single compensation salary.
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. If you need to convert your salary between different time periods or currencies before calculating taxes, use our Philippines Salary Converter tool first.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this tax calculator?
It estimates a single employed compensation salary under TRAIN Law and the 2026 employee shares of SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG used on this site. SSS is a simplified 5% of monthly salary credit (cap ₱35,000), not the official MSC table. Actual payroll can differ by employer policy and BIR filing.
Does this cover freelance or 8% tax?
No. It does not compute the 8% optional tax, percentage tax, or VAT for self-employed freelancers, and it does not combine multiple jobs.
Are there any deductions I can claim?
TRAIN Law removed personal and additional exemptions. This calculator uses the ₱250,000 0% bracket, then 15–35% on compensation. Optional non-taxable allowances are subtracted from taxable pay up to what you enter. It does not model itemized deductions or other BIR forms.
What is night differential and how is it calculated?
Night differential is 10% of hourly pay for hours between 10 PM–6 AM. Hourly pay is monthly salary ÷ 176 (22 days × 8 hours). Enter night hours only. The amount is added to taxable compensation.
When should I use this calculator?
Use it to estimate employed take-home on one salary, including optional allowances and night differential. To convert pay periods or currencies first, use the salary converter.
