What this does and does not include

  • Included: employer-side SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG and Employees' Compensation, plus the monthly accrual for 13th month pay.
  • Not included: our EOR service fee, withholding tax on the employee's pay, HMO or other benefits you choose to add, night or overtime differentials, and any allowances.
  • SSS is computed on a bracketed monthly salary credit. We use the bracket ceiling for the figure you enter, so the real amount can sit marginally below this.
  • Rates reflect the 2026 schedules and are revised periodically by the agencies. Treat this as a budgeting estimate, not a quotation.
