Overtime & Holiday Pay Calculator (Philippines)

Overtime is work beyond 8 hours a day. On an ordinary workday each overtime hour pays your hourly rate plus 25% (125%). On a rest day, special day or holiday, each overtime hour pays that day’s hourly rate plus 30%, so 169% on a rest day or special day and 260% on a regular holiday. Your hourly rate is your daily rate divided by 8.

If you work on a regular holiday you get 200% of your daily rate for the first 8 hours, and 260% if it also falls on your rest day. If you do not work, you still get 100% of your daily rate as long as you were present or on paid leave on the workday before the holiday.

Working on a special non-working day pays 130% of your daily rate, or 150% if it falls on your rest day. If you do not work, the rule is “no work, no pay” unless your company policy or CBA says otherwise.

Every hour worked between 10PM and 6AM earns at least 10% more than the hourly rate that applies to that hour. On an ordinary day that is 110% of your hourly rate; on a regular holiday it is 10% on top of the 200% holiday rate.

Multiply your monthly salary by 12 and divide by your working days a year. DOLE uses 261 days for a Monday–Friday schedule and 313 days for Monday–Saturday; both already include the paid regular holidays. For example, ₱26,100 × 12 ÷ 261 = ₱1,200 a day, or ₱150 an hour.

Managerial employees, officers or members of the managerial staff, field personnel whose hours cannot be determined, family members dependent on the employer, domestic workers (covered by the Kasambahay Law instead), and workers paid purely by results are excluded. Retail and service businesses regularly employing fewer than 10 workers are exempt from holiday pay, and those with fewer than 5 from night differential. Government employees follow Civil Service rules.
