How Companies Compute Tax Withheld on Your Payslip
Your payslip tax is based on the Withholding Tax Table (Revenue Regulation No. 11-2018) under the TRAIN Law.
🧾 Here's how it works:
Start with your Gross Monthly Income
Example: ₱30,000
Less: Mandatory Deductions
SSS
PhilHealth
Pag-IBIG
👉 Let’s say total is ₱2,000
Taxable Income = ₱28,000
Use the Withholding Tax Table to compute tax
For ₱28,000, tax falls under bracket:
Over ₱20,833 but not over ₱33,333
Tax = 0 + 20% of the excess over ₱20,833
👉 ₱28,000 – ₱20,833 = ₱7,167
👉 20% x ₱7,167 = ₱1,433.40
📌 Final Tax Withheld = ₱1,433.40
✅ That’s what appears in your payslip under "W/Tax" every cutoff.
