Every hour worked between 10pm and 6am carries a premium of at least 10% of the regular hourly rate. The premium is 10%; the hour therefore pays 110%. People mean both by "night differential", so this page shows both and labels which is which.
The other half of the question is how many night hours a shift actually contains, and the window crossing midnight is what makes that awkward. A 6pm to 3am shift is nine hours long and five of them are night hours. Enter the shift and the page works out the overlap.
What it will not do is night work on a rest day, a holiday, or in overtime. All three raise the wage the 10% is computed on, so the premiums compound — and those multipliers belong to the holiday and overtime calculators. A statutory rule should exist in one place, so rather than keep a second copy that will drift out of step, this tool stops at ordinary working days and says so.
Both, depending which you mean — and that is the confusion this page is built around. The premium is 10% of your hourly rate. The hour therefore pays 110% of it. A payslip line called "night differential" almost always shows the 10% part, so that is the headline figure here, with the 110% beside it.
Five. The window runs from 10pm to 6am, so the first four hours of that shift are ordinary and the last five attract the premium. Enter the shift times and the page works it out — the window crossing midnight is exactly what a hand calculation gets wrong.
The article covers rank-and-file employees. Managerial employees, field personnel, domestic workers, government employees and those paid purely on commission or task basis are outside it, as are retail and service establishments regularly employing fewer than five workers.
You get more, and this page will not tell you how much. Those days raise the regular wage the 10% is computed on, so the premiums compound rather than add. The day-type multipliers live in the Overtime Pay Calculator — putting a second copy of them here is how two tools start giving different answers. Work out the day-type premium there; night differential is a further 10% on top of whatever rate applies.
It is a minimum. The article says "not less than ten per cent", so a collective agreement or company policy may set more. This page computes the statutory floor.
No, if it is unpaid. This page counts the scheduled hours that fall inside the window, so if you take an unpaid break between 10pm and 6am, switch to entering the night hours directly and deduct it.
Eight hours, crossing midnight.
That is the premium alone. The basic pay for those 110 hours is ₱13,200 on top, so the night hours are worth ₱14,520 in total.
Ordinary working days only. Night work on a rest day, a holiday or in overtime is paid on a higher base and is not modelled here. Nothing you type here is sent to our servers — the calculation runs entirely in your browser.
