About Philippine Income Tax
The Philippines uses a graduated tax rate system under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law. This means the tax rate increases as your income increases, but you only pay the higher rate on the income within each bracket.
The tax is computed based on your annual taxable income, then divided by 12 to get the monthly withholding tax deducted from your salary.
Run a salary through the withholding tax calculator. The schedules are listed on Sources.
