Hourly rate guide
How to compute your hourly rate
Article 83 of the Labor Code sets normal working hours at no more than 8 a day. Your basic hourly rate is your daily rate spread over those 8 hours:
or, from a monthly salary: monthly basic salary × 12 ÷ annual factor ÷ 8
The meal break doesn't count. Article 85 gives at least 60 minutes for meals, and that time isn't paid, so an 8-to-5 schedule with an hour's lunch is 8 working hours, not 9.
Monthly salary to hourly rate
Monthly-paid employees need the annual factor first (see the daily rate guide). Here is what common salaries work out to:
| Monthly basic salary | Mon to Fri (261) | Mon to Sat (313) |
|---|---|---|
| ₱15,000 | ₱86.21 | ₱71.88 |
| ₱20,000 | ₱114.94 | ₱95.85 |
| ₱25,000 | ₱143.68 | ₱119.81 |
| ₱30,000 | ₱172.41 | ₱143.77 |
| ₱42,000 | ₱241.38 | ₱201.28 |
| ₱50,000 | ₱287.36 | ₱239.62 |
| ₱75,000 | ₱431.03 | ₱359.42 |
| ₱100,000 | ₱574.71 | ₱479.23 |
Computed as monthly salary × 12 ÷ factor ÷ 8, rounded to the centavo.
What the hourly rate is used for
- Overtime: 125% of the hourly rate on an ordinary day, 169% on a rest day, 260% on a regular holiday.
- Night differential: at least 10% of the hourly rate for each hour worked from 10 PM to 6 AM.
- Tardiness and undertime: late minutes are commonly deducted at the hourly rate ÷ 60 per minute.
Compressed workweeks and shorter days
Under an approved compressed workweek, for example four 10-hour days or five 9.6-hour days, your pay for the week doesn't change but each day is longer. Enter your scheduled hours per day to see the hourly equivalent. Part-time employees on fewer than 8 hours should enter their actual daily hours.
Common questions
Hourly rate FAQs
Should I divide by 8 or 9 hours?
By 8. A 9-hour day at the office usually includes a one-hour unpaid meal break, which isn't working time.
What is the hourly rate for ₱20,000 a month?
₱114.94 on a Monday-to-Friday schedule (₱20,000 × 12 ÷ 261 ÷ 8), or ₱95.85 on a Monday-to-Saturday schedule.
Is the hourly rate before or after deductions?
Before. It's a gross figure. SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and withholding tax are computed on your monthly pay, not per hour.
