3 Team size

4 Government contributions

Employed member: contributions are split

As the employer of record we remit both halves. The employer share is added to your invoice automatically; the employee share is withheld from your team member's pay along with BIR income tax.

  • SSS 15% of salary credit. Employer 10% + EC, employee 5%
  • PhilHealth 5% of salary, split 2.5% / 2.5%
  • Pag-IBIG 2% employer + 2% employee of fund salary

Independent contractors register with SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG as voluntary or self-employed members. There is no employer share, so they shoulder the whole contribution themselves.

Declared monthly income

Voluntary members choose the income they declare, and contributions are computed on that figure, not necessarily on what they are paid.

SSS full 15% of salary credit + EC
PhilHealth full 5%, ₱500 to ₱5,000
Pag-IBIG full 4%, capped at ₱400
Total per month

5 13th-month pay

One twelfth is added to each invoice, so there is no double bill in December.

6 Office space optional · per employee / month

Your team member works from home unless you add an office. Leave both unticked to keep it that way.

Assumptions & rates used

Employed (Employer of Record): SSS 15% of monthly salary credit, split employer 10% + EC (₱10 / ₱30) and employee 5%, with a credit floor of ₱5,000 and ceiling of ₱35,000 · PhilHealth 5% split 2.5% / 2.5%, floor ₱10,000 and ceiling ₱100,000 · Pag-IBIG 2% employer + 2% employee on fund salary capped at ₱10,000 · BIR monthly withholding table (TRAIN, 2023 to present).

Self-employed (Agency of Record): There is no employer share, so the member pays the whole amount. SSS full 15% of the declared salary credit (₱5,000 to ₱35,000) plus the EC premium (₱10, or ₱30 from a ₱15,000 credit), with any credit above ₱20,000 routed to the Mandatory Provident Fund rather than the regular fund · PhilHealth full 5% of declared income, ₱500 to ₱5,000 per month · Pag-IBIG full 4% of fund salary capped at ₱10,000, so ₱400 per month at the cap. A contractor engaged for work is a self-employed member, and SSS applies EC to that class; purely voluntary members and non-working spouses do not pay EC. Independent contractors file and pay their own income tax, so no BIR withholding is applied here, though clients may still owe creditable withholding on professional fees.
