Salary guides and resources
Plain-language explainers to help you understand salary calculations. Verify current rules with official sources before making payroll decisions.
Understanding salary deductions
Take-home pay usually starts with gross compensation and subtracts applicable employee deductions. The exact calculation depends on employment category, taxable compensation, current contribution schedules, and payroll circumstances.
For reliable amounts, review official information from BIR, SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG Fund, GSIS, and DOLE as relevant.
Daily rate vs. monthly salary
A daily rate multiplied by paid days gives a simple estimate of gross pay for those days. Actual payroll can vary because of attendance, holidays, overtime, leave, and employment terms.
