Estimator limits: actual payroll depends on official agency records, taxable classifications, annualization, year-to-date adjustments, and payroll cutoffs. The semi-monthly view simply divides the monthly estimate by two.

Direct answer

This calculator estimates take-home pay by subtracting SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, withholding tax and other entered deductions from gross pay. It also estimates employer statutory cost and includes private employees, minimum-wage earners and kasambahay.

Payroll formula

Gross payBasic + taxable pay + non-taxable pay
Estimated taxable compensationBasic + taxable pay − mandatory employee contributions
Estimated net payGross − contributions − withholding tax − other deductions
Estimated employer costGross + employer SSS/EC + PhilHealth + Pag-IBIG

Choose the correct employment type

  • Private employee: ordinary sharing and graduated withholding estimate
  • Minimum-wage earner: zero withholding for covered statutory minimum-wage compensation; additional pay may need review
  • Kasambahay: below ₱5,000 wage, the household employer bears both statutory contribution shares

Important: The semi-monthly view divides the monthly estimate by two. Actual payroll should use the relevant BIR pay-period table and year-to-date data.
