13th month pay, worked out.
One twelfth of the basic salary you earned in the year. Pick how you pay, type the numbers, see the amount.
The rule in four lines
- Every rank-and-file employee who worked at least one month in the calendar year gets one: the law is Presidential Decree 851.
- The amount is one twelfth of the basic salary actually earned in the year. Overtime, holiday and night pay, and allowances that are not part of the basic are not counted.
- It is paid on or before 24 December. Someone who leaves earlier gets their share in the final pay.
- The 13th month, together with other benefits, is tax-free up to ₱90,000. Only the part above that is taxed.
