How it is calculated
ISSS and pension contributions are deducted from gross salary. The monthly table in Executive Decree No. 10 of 2025 is applied to that base, before individual adjustments. Other deductions do not reduce the income tax base. If you know your payroll withholding, you can enter it directly.

For one full month of ordinary salary for an active employee contributing to ISSS and the pension system. It excludes the annual bonus, income from other employers, special treatment and cumulative June and December recalculations. It does not check the applicable minimum wage.
