How We Calculated Your Salary
SweldoSense starts with your gross monthly salary of ₱15,000, subtracts employee SSS (₱750), PhilHealth (₱375), and Pag-IBIG (₱200), then applies TRAIN Law withholding tax (₱0) using the same annualization method as the live Salary Calculator (monthly gross × 13 for 13th month, with the first ₱90,000 of bonuses exempt). At this gross level, estimated monthly withholding tax is ₱0 under TRAIN annualization for the base salary alone. The result is an estimated take-home of ₱13,675. Actual payslips can differ when employers add taxable allowances, loans, or non-taxable benefits.
