Quick Payroll Tax Calculator

Gross pay for THIS period, before any deductions. Contributions are computed for you.
SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG are defined monthly; only these two period bases have a statutory basis.
Membership

Estimate only, for general informational purposes. Based on the BIR Annex E withholding tax table (RR 11-2018, effective 2023) and the 2025 SSS / current PhilHealth / Pag-IBIG contribution schedules as transcribed at the time this page was built. Actual payroll withholding may differ based on your employer's pay group configuration, cutoff schedule, and any other deductions. Not a substitute for professional payroll or tax advice.

How withholding tax is computed

Philippine payroll withholding tax is not a flat percentage of gross pay. It follows a fixed sequence:

  1. Gross pay for the month.
  2. Deduct the employee shares of SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG, assuming active membership in all three.
  3. What remains is taxable compensation.
  4. Look up taxable compensation against the BIR Annex E monthly withholding tax table (RR 11-2018, effective 2023) to get the withholding tax.
  5. Net pay = gross pay − contributions − withholding tax.

BIR tax brackets (all pay frequencies)

The tabs below show every BIR Annex E payroll-period table — daily, weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, bi-weekly (derived), and annual. A taxable amount exactly on a bracket's floor falls into the lower bracket.

Withholding tax is looked up directly from the table matching the employee's pay frequency.
