How the ₱100,000 13th month is computed
Add up the basic salary you earned from January to December, then divide by 12. At ₱100,000 a month for 12 months that's ₱1,200,000 ÷ 12 = ₱100,000. Overtime, night differential, holiday pay and allowances don't count. Hired or resigned mid-year? Use only the months you worked — the table above shows the pro-rated amounts.
Is it taxed?
Your 13th month and other bonuses are tax-free up to ₱90,000 a year. A ₱100,000 13th month is ₱10,000 over that, and that excess is taxed at your regular rate — about ₱2,500, usually withheld from your December pay. Any Christmas bonus or other cash benefit on top is fully taxable too.
What to do with ₱97,500
Pay off credit card utang first — at up to ~36% a year, nothing you can invest beats clearing it. Then top up your emergency fund. For the rest: BanKo TODO Savings at 5% would earn about ₱3,900 a year after tax (withdraw anytime), while Pag-IBIG MP2 at the latest 7.12% dividend would earn about ₱6,942 tax-free, locked for 5 years.
