Philippines has 6 progressive brackets from 0% to 35%, with the first PHP 250,000 (~$4,400 USD) completely tax-free—a major benefit for lower earners. The TRAIN Law reforms simplified the system. Employees also pay SSS (3-4.5%), PhilHealth (2.5%), and Pag-IBIG (2%) contributions. A PHP 1,000,000 earner (~$17,500) pays roughly PHP 150,000 income tax (~15%). OFW income is exempt from Philippine tax while working abroad. Self-employed can choose 8% flat tax on gross sales up to PHP 3 million. Non-residents pay 25% flat on Philippine-source income. Filing deadline is April 15. Use our calculator to estimate your Philippine tax liability.
