๐ต๐ญ Withholding Tax on Compensation Calculator
Estimate your projected withholding tax under the TRAIN Law (RA 10963), using 2026 BIR tables and the โฑ90,000 non-taxable bonus/13th-month threshold. For estimation purposes only โ not an official BIR computation.
1Pay frequency & computation mode
2Year-to-date tracking
Not used in the math โ just a label so you remember which cutoff your YTD figures reflect.
How many times a month you're paid (2 for semi-monthly, 1 for monthly). This is what divides your monthly rate into a per-payout amount โ it does not depend on Pay Frequency above or on the elapsed/to-project counts below.
How many pay periods you've already been paid/processed for this year, as of your YTD figures below.
The remaining payouts to project โ e.g., 13 if you're tracking 11 of 24 semi-monthly payouts so far.
3Earnings
Taxable earnings
The total taxable income you've earned so far this year โ basic pay, allowances, overtime, holiday premium, night differential, everything taxable combined. Pull this straight from your payslip's YTD summary (excludes de minimis and other non-taxable amounts).
In Full-year mode, this YTD figure is used only for the 13th month computation (it's already counted in "YTD taxable earnings" above). The projected amount below still feeds both your overall projected tax due and the projected 13th month.
Projecting basic pay only applies in Full-year projection mode โ but the monthly rate below is still used for statutory contribution auto-calculation if that's enabled.
Leave at 0 if unchanged โ the current rate will be used.
This monthly rate also feeds the statutory contribution auto-calculation in the Deductions section below, if enabled there.

Maternity salary differential and maternity leave pay are non-taxable (RA 11210, the Expanded Maternity Leave Law) โ these two items feed only into the 13th month computation above and are not added to your regular taxable earnings.
Received this year to date
Expected โ rest of year
Have an extra bonus/incentive that also counts toward the โฑ90,000 combined limit (e.g., a performance bonus, signing bonus, or cash gift โ separate from 13th month)? Add anything already received straight into "Received this year to date" above. Add anything still expected before year-end into the second box โ if 13th month auto-calculate is on, that box adds on top of the auto-computed amount rather than replacing it.
Variable/unpredictable, so this is tracked YTD only โ no rest-of-year projection field. Added into your combined 13th month/bonus total, subject to the same shared โฑ90,000 exemption as everything else in this box.

6Previous employer this year (optional)
Added directly to your combined annual taxable income. This figure should already be net of their exemptions/deductions โ it's the "Total Taxable Income" line on the 2316.
Added to "tax already withheld" when computing your year-end balance.
The โฑ90,000 13th-month exemption is a single combined limit per employee per year, not per employer. Whatever they already exempted (up to โฑ90,000 of this amount) reduces how much you can still exempt at your current employer, so it's used in the calculation below โ not just for reference.
Not added to the calculation โ SSS/PhilHealth/Pag-IBIG have no shared annual cap across employers, so their "Total Taxable Income" figure already correctly nets these out on its own. Shown here for your records only.
These normally come from BIR Form 2316, issued by a previous employer when you resign or transfer. "Taxable income," "Tax withheld," and "13th month" all feed into the computation below โ statutory and non-taxable benefits are shown for your records only, since they don't need cross-employer adjustment.

This tool estimates withholding tax on compensation using TRAIN Law (RA 10963) tax tables effective 2023 onward and de minimis ceilings under RR No. 29-2025 (effective Jan 6, 2026). It does not account for every possible compensation item (e.g., fringe benefits tax on managerial/supervisory perks, multiple employers in one year, or mid-year rate changes). Actual withholding is determined by your employer's payroll system and the BIR. Use BIR's official calculator or consult your payroll/HR team to confirm.
