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 pay | Basic + taxable pay + non-taxable pay |
| Estimated taxable compensation | Basic + taxable pay − mandatory employee contributions |
| Estimated net pay | Gross − contributions − withholding tax − other deductions |
| Estimated employer cost | Gross + 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.
Official basis and update status
Checked September 2026 against the current contribution schedules and BIR’s 2023-onward withholding rates. See the withholding-tax guide and individual contribution calculators for auditable inputs.
