13th month pay 2026
Every December, millions of Filipino workers check whether their 13th month pay is right. Our section explains the rules in plain English — basic salary ÷ 12, the 24 December deadline, the ₱90,000 tax-free ceiling — and works through real-life cases: new hires, resignations, mid-year raises, maternity leave, kasambahay and minimum wage earners in Metro Manila.
