❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What currency does this calculator use?
It's currency-agnostic — enter any number in any denomination. If converting USD or AED to PHP, apply today's exchange rate first, then enter the peso equivalent.
What tax rate should I use as a Filipino freelancer?
Under BIR's 2026 rules, self-employed professionals earning under ₱3 million annually can choose either the 8% flat tax on gross income exceeding ₱250,000, or the graduated rate (0%–35%) on net income. Enter 8% in this tool for the simple flat tax option. See our full
Freelancer Tax Guide for details.
Why does my result differ from my actual payslip?
This tool uses flat-rate deduction for simplicity. Actual payslips apply graduated BIR tax brackets, tiered SSS and PhilHealth tables, and employer-specific deductions. Use the
main calculator for a full Philippine breakdown.
Does this tool store my salary data?
No. All calculations happen entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent to any server or stored anywhere. Closing the tab clears everything.
What tax rate should OFWs use?
Most OFWs in UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore are taxed at 0% in the host country. Enter 0% for tax, then subtract any voluntary SSS or PhilHealth contributions manually from your gross before inputting.
