1. What is the Salary Standardization Law?

The Salary Standardization Law (SSL) is a Philippine law that provides a modified compensation and position classification system for government employees. The current version (SSL V) was implemented in four tranches from 2016 to 2019.

2. How Salary Calculation Works

The calculator uses the standard government salary formula:

\[ \text{Net Salary} = \text{Basic Pay} + \text{PERA} + \text{Allowances} - (\text{SSS} + \text{PhilHealth} + \text{PAG-IBIG} + \text{Tax}) \]

Where:

Basic Pay - Determined by salary grade and step
PERA - Personnel Economic Relief Allowance (PHP 2,000)
Allowances - Additional compensation (transportation, subsistence, etc.)
SSS - Social Security System contribution (4.5% of basic pay)
PhilHealth - Health insurance contribution (3% of basic pay)
PAG-IBIG - Home Development Mutual Fund (2% of basic pay)
Tax - Withholding tax based on BIR tax tables

3. Understanding the Components

Basic Pay: The foundation of compensation, determined by salary grade and step as per the SSL matrix.

PERA: A fixed amount (PHP 2,000) given to all government personnel to help cope with inflation.

Mandatory Deductions: All government employees are required to contribute to SSS, PhilHealth, and PAG-IBIG.

4. Using the Calculator
