Your Take-Home Pay

💸

Enter your salary to see your net pay

Why is my take-home pay lower than the salary I was offered?

This is the question almost every Filipino employee asks on their first payday. You agreed to a ₱30,000 salary, but only around ₱26,500 shows up in your account. Nothing is wrong — the gap is your mandatory government deductions. By law, every private-sector employee contributes to three funds, and the BIR withholds income tax on top:

🏥 SSS

Your pension, sickness, disability and maternity safety net. Your employer matches (and adds more than) your share.

⚕️ PhilHealth

National health insurance. 5% of your salary, split 50/50 — you pay half, your employer the other half.

🏠 Pag-IBIG

Housing fund and savings. Capped at ₱200/month once you earn ₱10,000 or more — the smallest deduction.

🧾 Withholding tax

BIR income tax, collected every payday so you don't owe a lump sum at year-end. ₱0 if you earn ₱20,833/month or less.

The good news: the three contributions are not lost money — they are tax-exempt and buy you real benefits (a pension, free hospital cover, a housing loan). Only the withholding tax is a true tax.

How your net pay is calculated, step by step

Payroll always follows the same order. The three contributions come off first because they are tax-exempt — so the tax is calculated on a smaller amount.

1

Start with your gross monthly salary

Your basic pay before any deduction.

2

Subtract SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG

Your employee share of all three. The total is your tax-exempt contributions.

3

That leaves your taxable pay

Gross minus the three contributions. This is what the BIR taxes.

4

Subtract the BIR withholding tax

Computed on your taxable pay using the TRAIN table. What remains is your net take-home pay.

Net pay = Gross − SSS − PhilHealth − Pag-IBIG − Withholding tax

Notice your SSS and Pag-IBIG stop rising once you hit the salary ceilings — above ₱35,000 (SSS) and ₱10,000 (Pag-IBIG), only PhilHealth and tax keep growing.
