Advanced: other bonuses / other income (affects tax on any amount over ₱90,000)
Leave at ₱0 if you're not sure — the tax estimate on any amount over ₱90,000 will then assume no other income, which UNDERSTATES the real tax if you do have other taxable income this year.

Frequently asked questions
- How is 13th month pay calculated?
- Total basic salary earned during the calendar year divided by twelve. Only basic salary counts — overtime, holiday premiums, night differential, allowances and most bonuses are excluded unless your employer treats them as part of basic pay by policy.
- Do I get 13th month pay if I resigned mid-year?
- Yes, prorated. If you worked any part of the year you are entitled to a proportionate share based on the basic salary you actually earned before leaving, and it should be paid on or before separation or with the December run.
- Does unpaid leave reduce it?
- Yes, indirectly. The calculation is based on basic salary actually earned, so periods of unpaid leave lower the total earned and therefore lower the 13th month figure. Paid leave does not.
- Is 13th month pay the same as a Christmas bonus?
- No. 13th month pay is a legal entitlement for rank-and-file employees with a statutory formula and deadline. A Christmas bonus is discretionary — an employer can change or withdraw it, and it does not substitute for the 13th month obligation.
