Every peso of the ₱1,325.00 that comes off your ₱15,000 has a fixed formula behind it. Your SSS contribution (₱750.00) is 5% of your Monthly Salary Credit; your PhilHealth premium (₱375.00) is your half of the 5% rate; Pag-IBIG takes ₱200.00; and withholding tax applies only after all three contributions are deducted from your pay.
At this salary your taxable income of ₱13,675.00 sits below the ₱20,833 monthly threshold — you pay zero withholding tax under the TRAIN Law. Your only deductions are the three contributions, and each one comes back to you as benefits: SSS builds your pension and loan eligibility, PhilHealth covers hospitalization, Pag-IBIG opens housing loans. A raise to ₱18,000 would put about ₱2,775.00 more in your pocket each month.
Your employer also pays their own SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG shares on top of your salary — those never touch your payslip. And remember the 13th month pay: one extra month of basic salary every December, on top of everything here.
₱15,000 Salary — The Full Deduction Math 2026
| Line | Monthly | Per Payday |
|---|---|---|
| Gross salary | ₱15,000.00 | ₱7,500.00 |
| SSS (5% of MSC) | − ₱750.00 | − ₱375.00 |
| PhilHealth (2.5%) | − ₱375.00 | − ₱187.50 |
| Pag-IBIG | − ₱200.00 | − ₱100.00 |
| Taxable income | ₱13,675.00 | ₱6,837.50 |
| Withholding tax (TRAIN) | − ₱0.00 | − ₱0.00 |
| Take-home pay | ₱13,675.00 | ₱6,837.50 |
Computed on BIR Annex E monthly withholding brackets (RR 11-2018), the SSS schedule effective January 2025 (Circular 2024-006) and the PhilHealth 5% premium (Circular 2019-0009). Your employer’s payroll may vary slightly with timing and rounding.
What This Figure Doesn’t Include
The take-home above is your basic monthly salary after the four standard deductions — SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG and withholding tax. Several things sit outside it. Overtime, night-shift differential, holiday premium and most allowances are paid on top of this figure, so a month with extra hours lands higher than what you see here. Your 13th month pay arrives separately in December and is tax-free up to the TRAIN Law cap, again on top.
Money can also come off after this point. An SSS or Pag-IBIG salary-loan repayment, a voluntary Pag-IBIG contribution above the standard ceiling, your share of a company HMO, union dues or a cash advance are all deducted from the net figure — they are personal to you, so no calculator can predict them. If your payslip is lower than the number above, one of these is almost always the reason.
Quick Answers
Why is my payslip slightly different?
Employers split deductions across paydays differently (some take SSS on the first kinsena only), and absences, overtime and allowances move the numbers. This page shows the standard full-month math for a ₱15,000 basic salary.
Do the contributions count as tax?
No — SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG are contributions that come back to you as a pension, health coverage and housing-loan access. They’re also deducted before tax is computed, so they reduce your withholding tax too.
Is the 13th month pay taxed?
Your 13th month pay and other benefits are tax-exempt up to a cap set by the TRAIN Law; for most salaries at this level it arrives tax-free in December, on top of the take-home shown here.
