How to use

What it's for

Find out your monthly Pag-IBIG contribution, what your employer pays beside it, and what a voluntary top-up adds, if you are employed.

Before you start

Have your payslip to hand for your monthly pay. Most people earn more than the amount Pag-IBIG counts, so the answer is often the same flat figure whatever the salary — that is expected, not a fault.

  1. Type your monthly pay

    In Monthly compensation, type what you earn in a month, in digits only — no ₱ sign and no commas.

  2. Add a top-up, if you want one

    If you want to save more than the required amount, type the extra you will add each month in Voluntary top-up — optional. It goes on your share only, and your employer does not match it. Otherwise leave the box blank.

  3. Press Calculate

    Press Calculate. The answer at the top already changes as you type; the button brings it back into view if you have scrolled away from it.

  4. Check the working

    Below the notes, The working shows the amount the rates were applied to, your share, your employer's share and the total.

Reading the result

  • Your Pag-IBIG contribution: what comes off your pay each month, including any top-up you typed.
  • Employer share: what your employer pays on top. It is not taken from your pay.
  • Total: your share and your employer's together — the full amount paid to Pag-IBIG for you each month.
  • Computed on: the part of your pay the rates were applied to. When it is lower than what you typed, the limit has been applied.

If it goes wrong

  • The contribution does not rise when you raise your pay: that is the limit, not a mistake. The note under the boxes says contributions are computed on at most a fixed amount, so most members pay the same.
  • On a very low pay a note says the rates differ: your rate drops, but your employer's does not. That is correct, and the employer share is right as shown.
  • An error says Enter your monthly compensation.: the box is empty or holds something that is not a number, such as a comma. Type digits only.

What this is

Pag-IBIG takes 2% from you and 2% from your employer — but of a capped figure. Contributions are computed on at most ₱10,000 of monthly compensation, so the most anyone contributes is ₱200 a side.

That cap is low enough that most members are at it. Someone on ₱15,000 and someone on ₱150,000 pay exactly the same ₱200. It presents as a percentage and behaves as a flat amount, which is why a payslip figure that never changes with a raise is correct rather than a mistake.

One detail almost every summary gets wrong: at or below ₱1,500 a month, the employee rate drops to 1% — and the employer rate does not. It stays at 2%. Sources that say "1% below ₱1,500" without saying whose rate leave the employer share understated by half.

Questions

Why is my contribution ₱200 whatever I earn?

Because contributions are computed on at most ₱10,000 of compensation. Two per cent of ₱10,000 is ₱200, and that is the ceiling. Someone earning ₱15,000 and someone earning ₱150,000 contribute exactly the same amount — it is a flat figure for most members rather than a percentage.

Why did my contribution double?

The maximum fund salary rose from ₱5,000 to ₱10,000 under HDMF Circular 460, taking effect in February 2024. The rate did not change; the amount it is computed on did, so the maximum contribution went from ₱100 to ₱200 a side.

I earn ₱1,500 or less. What do I pay?

You pay 1% and your employer still pays 2%. This is the detail most summaries get wrong: they say "1% below ₱1,500" without saying whose rate, which leaves the employer share understated. The lower rate is yours alone.

Can I contribute more than the minimum?

Yes. Members may contribute above the mandatory amount, and doing so increases your own savings and dividends. It does not oblige your employer to match it — a top-up is added to your side only.

Is this the same as MP2?

No. This is the mandatory Pag-IBIG I membership contribution. MP2 is a separate, voluntary five-year savings programme with its own dividend rate, and it sits alongside this rather than replacing it.

Does the contribution get me a housing loan?

Membership and a contribution record are prerequisites for a Pag-IBIG housing loan, but the amount you can borrow depends on your capacity to pay and the property, not on the contributions alone. This tool works out the contribution only.

The maths

The rates
CompensationYouEmployer
₱1,500 and below1%2%
Above ₱1,5002%2%

Applied to at most ₱10,000 of compensation — so ₱200 is the ceiling on either side.

Worked example
₱8,000 a month — below the cap
₱8,000 × 2%₱160.00
₱45,000 a month — at the cap
₱10,000 × 2%₱200.00

₱200 is also what somebody on ₱450,000 pays. The cap does not move.
