Take-Home Pay Calculator 2026

From gross to net: the four deductions between your offer letter and your bank account.

Effective January 2026

Your offer letter says one number. Your bank account gets a smaller one. The gap is four deductions — SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG and withholding tax. Type your gross monthly salary and see exactly where it goes and what actually reaches you.

Basic salary, monthly-paid. For allowances, semi-monthly pay and offer comparisons, use the full Sweldo Check.

The four deductions, in order

Payroll takes them in a set order, and it matters because tax is charged last, on what is left.

Whatever survives all four is your take-home pay.

Questions people ask

How do I compute my take-home pay in the Philippines?

Start with your gross monthly salary. Subtract your SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG contributions, then subtract withholding tax (which is charged on what remains). What is left is your take-home pay.

What is the take-home pay for a ₱25,000 salary in 2026?

About ₱22,610 a month. From ₱25,000 you lose ₱1,250 SSS, ₱625 PhilHealth, ₱200 Pag-IBIG and about ₱314 withholding tax. Use the calculator above for your exact figure.

Why is my take-home lower than my offer letter?

An offer letter states gross pay. Your take-home is gross minus four things: SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG and withholding tax. The gap is usually a single-digit to low double-digit percentage and widens as pay rises.

Does this include allowances?

This quick calculator uses basic salary only. Non-taxable allowances (like de minimis benefits) do not add to your deductions, while taxable allowances do. For allowances, semi-monthly pay and offer comparisons, use the full Sweldo Check.
