The pay PhilHealth counts: your basic pay only, from ₱10,000 to ₱100,000.
Most useful for: Fresh grad, Career shifter
- In real life
- ₱30,000 basic plus a ₱3,000 allowance is still a ₱30,000 MBS, so PhilHealth stays ₱750 from you.
- Why it matters to you
- Allowances and overtime don't raise your PhilHealth.
An explanation to help you read your pay, not a ruling on your case. Your employer, the agency or DOLE has the final word.
