Kodigo Labs ToolsPay rates used by this calculator
The table shows the minimum rates under the Labor Code and DOLE guidelines. "Daily rate" means your basic daily wage; "hourly rate" is the daily rate ÷ 8.
| Day type | First 8 hours (× daily rate) | Overtime (× hourly rate) | If not worked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ordinary working day | 100% | 125% | No work, no pay |
| Rest day | 130% | 169% | No work, no pay |
| Special non-working day | 130% | 169% | No work, no pay (unless company policy or CBA says otherwise) |
| Special non-working day on rest day | 150% | 195% | No work, no pay |
| Regular holiday | 200% | 260% | 100% of daily rate |
| Regular holiday on rest day | 260% | 338% | 100% of daily rate |
| Double holiday (two regular holidays) | 300% | 390% | 200% of daily rate |
| Double holiday on rest day | 390% | 507% | 200% of daily rate |
Night shift differential (10:00 PM to 6:00 AM) adds at least 10% of the hourly rate that applies to that hour. For example, a night overtime hour on an ordinary day is worth 125% × 110% = 137.5% of the hourly rate.
How overtime pay is computed
- Get your hourly rate: daily rate ÷ 8. If you are monthly-paid, first get your daily rate: monthly salary × 12 ÷ working days per year.
- Pay for the first 8 hours = hours worked (up to 8) × hourly rate × the day's rate (for example 200% on a regular holiday).
- Overtime pay = overtime hours × hourly rate × the overtime rate for that day (125% on an ordinary day, or the day's rate plus 30% on rest days and holidays).
- Night shift differential = night hours × the hourly rate for that hour × 10%.
Example: Juan earns ₱800 a day, so his hourly rate is ₱100. He works 10 hours on a regular holiday, and his last 2 hours (overtime) fall after 10 PM. Pay for the first 8 hours: 8 × ₱100 × 200% = ₱1,600. Overtime: 2 × ₱100 × 260% = ₱520. Night differential: 2 × ₱260 × 10% = ₱52. Total: ₱2,172.
Monthly-paid employees
If your monthly salary already covers rest days and regular holidays (factor 365), you were already paid 100% for the holiday. When you work on that day, your employer may pay only the additional premium on top of your monthly salary. The "Extra over a normal day's pay" line shows that difference.
Frequently asked questions
How much is overtime pay on an ordinary day?
Work beyond 8 hours on an ordinary working day is paid an extra 25% of your hourly rate, so each overtime hour is worth 125% of your hourly rate (Article 87 of the Labor Code).
What is the difference between a regular holiday and a special non-working day?
On a regular holiday (like Independence Day or Christmas Day) you get 100% of your daily pay even if you do not work, and 200% if you do. On a special non-working day (like Ninoy Aquino Day) the rule is "no work, no pay" unless your company is more generous, and you get 130% if you work.
How is night shift differential computed?
Every hour worked between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM earns at least an extra 10% of the hourly rate for that day. If the night hour is also overtime or falls on a holiday, the 10% is based on that higher overtime or holiday hourly rate, not on your basic hourly rate.
Which daily rate factor should I use (261, 313 or 365)?
Use 261 if you work 5 days a week, 313 if you work 6 days a week, and 365 if your monthly salary already pays you for rest days and holidays. Your payslip or HR can tell you which factor your company uses. The daily rate is monthly salary × 12 ÷ factor.
Are managers and supervisors entitled to overtime pay?
Not always. The Labor Code excludes managerial employees, officers or members of the managerial staff, field personnel, domestic workers (who are covered by the Kasambahay Law) and workers paid purely by results from overtime, holiday and night shift pay rules. Check your contract and company policy.
Does this apply to government employees?
No. The Labor Code premiums used here apply to the private sector. Government employees follow Civil Service Commission and DBM rules, where overtime is often given as compensatory time off instead of pay. Check with your agency's HR office.
