Frequently asked questions
What income should I enter?
Your taxable income — basic pay less the mandatory SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG contributions. That's usually lower than your gross salary.
Does the ₱90,000 benefits exemption change my status here?
No. That exemption applies to 13th-month pay and similar benefits, which are handled separately. This checker looks at your regular taxable salary.
How is the tax estimated when I'm taxable?
It applies the BIR graduated table under the TRAIN law to your annual taxable income, then divides by 12 for the monthly figure.
Is my income uploaded?
No. The check runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is stored or sent to a server.
