How is PhilHealth Contribution calculated? 

PhilHealth contribution is calculated based on the on the official table released by PhilHealth. 

We've provided some example calculations that you may refer to for further understanding.


[Example 1] 

Employee basic salary is ₱10,000 

  • Based on the table of Philhealth contributions employee will pay: ₱137.50 
  • Based on the table of Philhealth contributions employer will pay: 137.50 
  • Total Philhealth contribution remitted to employee: 275.00


[Example 2] 

Employee basic salary is 20,000 

  • Based on the table of Philhealth contributions employee will pay: 275 
  • Based on the table of Philhealth contributions employer will pay: 275 
  • Total Philhealth contribution remitted to employee: 550 


Here's the computation:

20,000 x 2.75% = 550 Monthly Premium 

550 / 2 = 275 

Employee Share: 275

Employer Share: 275
