About Sahod PH
Comprehensive Financial Tools for Filipinos
Our Core Mission
While our primary focus is providing an easy-to-use, highly precise tax calculator for Filipino workers, our platform has evolved into a comprehensive suite of financial tools. From calculating your take-home pay under the TRAIN Law to projecting your 13th-month bonuses, Pag-IBIG MP2 investments, and Digital Bank yields, our goal is to empower your financial literacy and planning through transparency.
Why We Created These Tools
Determining monthly withholding taxes can be complicated under the progressive brackets of the TRAIN Law (Republic Act No. 10963). When SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG monthly contribution tables are factored in, manual calculations become tedious.
We initially designed our flagship tax application to automate this computation reactively. Today, we have expanded our suite to include investment calculators (like MP2 and High-Yield Digital Banks) and bonus estimators, allowing you to instantly project your wealth growth and manage your finances with ease.
The People Behind Sahod PH
Sahod PH is an independent project built and maintained by two creators who wanted Philippine personal finance to be less of a guessing game.
Dainiel Lim is a software engineer who has spent years building and maintaining finance management systems. He started Sahod PH to give individuals a straightforward way to compare and proof-check their own earnings—taking the kind of computation that usually stays locked inside payroll and accounting software and making it something anyone can run in their browser.
El Cabana brings hands-on finance experience across the private and business sectors, helping ensure the tools and guides reflect how Philippine taxation and compensation actually work in practice.
How We Ensure Accuracy
Trust and accuracy are the cornerstones of Sahod PH. Every calculator on our site undergoes a rigorous testing protocol:
- Official Sources: Our formulas are strictly based on the latest Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) releases, including the updated progressive tax brackets under the TRAIN Law (Republic Act No. 10963).
- Regular Audits: Our tables for SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG contributions are audited bi-annually and cross-referenced with official circulars to ensure they reflect the most current mandatory deduction rates.
- Research & Professional Input: Before a new feature goes live, we research it against current law and confirm the treatment with local accountants we work with in practice—reflecting how businesses rely on their own accountants and real-world experience rather than assumptions alone.
Editorial Independence & Privacy
We maintain strict editorial independence. While we may feature ads to keep the tools free, our calculations and financial guides are never influenced by third-party sponsors. Furthermore, we guarantee 100% Client-Side Privacy. Your salary inputs, investment amounts, and personal data never leave your browser and are never stored on our servers.
