How to use it
Enter your daily rate and pick the kind of day. Put in the hours you worked, and how many of them fell between 10 PM and 6 AM. The tool splits your pay into the first eight hours, overtime and night differential.
The formula
Your hourly rate is your daily rate ÷ 8. For the first eight hours, you earn this share of it:
| Kind of day | Rate |
|---|---|
| Ordinary work day | 100% |
| Rest day | 130% |
| Special non-working day | 130% |
| Special day on your rest day | 150% |
| Regular holiday | 200% |
| Regular holiday on your rest day | 260% |
- Overtime (past eight hours) adds 25% on an ordinary day and 30% on any other day.
- Night differential adds 10% for each hour worked from 10 PM to 6 AM.
Example: ₱700 a day, so ₱87.50 an hour. You work 10 hours on a regular holiday.
- First 8 hours: ₱87.50 × 200% × 8 = ₱1,400.
- Overtime: ₱87.50 × 200% × 130% × 2 = ₱455.
- You earn ₱1,855 for the day.
Common questions
Do I get paid on a regular holiday if I don't work?
Yes, 100% of your daily rate, as long as you worked or were on paid leave the work day before the holiday. Choose "Regular holiday, not worked".
What about a special non-working day I don't work?
No work, no pay, unless your company policy or contract says otherwise.
What is the difference between a regular holiday and a special day?
Regular holidays, such as New Year's Day, Independence Day and Christmas, pay 200% when you work. Special days, such as Ninoy Aquino Day or All Saints' Day, pay 130%. The government lists each year's holidays in a proclamation.
How is night differential computed on overtime?
It is 10% of whatever rate applies to that hour. A night hour of overtime on a holiday is 10% of the holiday overtime rate, not of your plain hourly rate. The tool counts night hours against your first eight hours first, then against overtime.
Where do these rates come from?
The Labor Code (Articles 86, 87, 93 and 94) and the DOLE Handbook on Workers' Statutory Monetary Benefits.
