Why You Need a Reliable Salary Calculator in the Philippines: Introducing PisoWise

Understanding your salary in the Philippines can be surprisingly complex. Between the basic pay, various allowances, and the mandatory government contributions (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG), plus the withholding tax, figuring out your actual "take-home" pay is often a headache.

Whether you are a fresh graduate accepting your first job offer, an employee negotiating a raise, or a freelancer trying to estimate your taxes, having a reliable tool is essential. This is where PisoWise comes in.

The Complexity of Philippine Payroll

In the Philippines, your gross monthly salary is just the starting point. To get to your net pay, you need to deduct:

1. SSS (Social Security System): Mandatory social insurance.
2. PhilHealth: National health insurance program.
3. Pag-IBIG (HDMF): Home Development Mutual Fund for housing loans and savings.
4. Withholding Tax: Income tax deducted by your employer based on the BIR's graduated tax table.

Each of these has its own contribution table and calculation rules, which change periodically. For example, PhilHealth contribution rates have been increasing annually, and SSS tables are updated frequently. Keeping track of these changes manually is prone to errors.

Why Use PisoWise?

PisoWise is designed to be the most accurate, modern, and user-friendly salary calculator for Filipinos. Here is why you should make it your go-to tool:

1. Always Up-to-Date

We constantly update our algorithms to reflect the latest contribution tables and tax laws from the BIR, SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG. You don't need to worry if you are using an old formula; we handle the complexity for you.

2. Comprehensive Breakdown

PisoWise doesn't just give you a single number. We provide a detailed breakdown of:

• Monthly & Annual Gross Pay
• Specific Deductions for SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and Tax.
• Net Pay (Take-home pay).
• 13th Month Pay estimation.

3. Flexible Inputs

Whether you are paid monthly, semi-monthly, weekly, or even daily, PisoWise can normalize your income to give you accurate monthly and annual projections. We also handle taxable and non-taxable allowances correctly, ensuring your tax computation is precise.

4. Income Classification

Curious where you stand in the national income spectrum? PisoWise includes a unique feature that classifies your income bracket based on NEDA (National Economic and Development Authority) standards, giving you insight into your economic standing.

5. Privacy First

Your financial data is sensitive. PisoWise performs all calculations instantly on your device. We do not store your salary inputs on our servers.

Who Is It For?

• Job Seekers: Compare job offers effectively. A higher gross salary doesn't always mean a significantly higher net pay if it pushes you into a higher tax bracket.
• Employees: Verify your payslip. Mistakes happen, and it's good to double-check if your deductions are correct.
• Employers & HR: Quickly estimate costs for potential hires.
• Freelancers: Estimate your voluntary contributions and tax obligations.
