 Wages
refer to the earnings received by a worker on a piece rate,
hourly rate, or daily rate
Piece Rate
Tammy is paid on a per piece basis at the rate of ₱1.20 per
piece. If she finishes 360 pieces for a week, how much is her
total earnings?
Total earnings = Quantity × Rate
= 360 × ₱1.20
= ₱432
Hourly Rate
If an employee worked for 40 hours during the week and his
rate is ₱10 per hour, his wage is:
40 hours × ₱10/hour = ₱400.
 Consumption of Overtime Pay
Assuming that the minimum daily wage rate is ₱340, how
much is the overtime rate per hour?
On Ordinary Day
Regular hourly rate = Daily wage rate ÷ 8 hours
= ₱340 ÷ 8 hours = ₱42.50 per hour
Overtime rate = Regular rate + 25% of Regular rate
= ₱42.50 + (25% of ₱ 42.50)
= ₱42.50 + ₱10.625
= ₱53.125
 Consumption of Overtime Pay
On Rest Day and Special Day
The hourly rate on rest day and special day is 130% of the regular rates.

Hourly rate = 130% of Regular hourly rate

= 130% × ₱42.50 = ₱55.25
Overtime rate = Rate on rest day + 30% of rate on rest day
= ₱55.25 + (30% of ₱ 55.25)
= ₱55.25 + ₱16.575
= ₱71.825
 Consumption of Overtime Pay
On Rest Day which Falls on a Special Day

Hourly rate = 150% of Regular hourly rate

= 150% × ₱42.50 = ₱63.75
Overtime rate = Rate on rest day + 30% of rate on rest day
= ₱63.75 + (30% of ₱63.75)
= ₱63.75 + ₱19.125
= ₱82.875
 Consumption of Overtime Pay
On a Regular Holiday

Hourly rate = 200% of Regular hourly rate

= 200% × ₱42.50 = ₱85
Overtime rate = Rate on rest day + 30% of rate on reg holiday
= ₱85 + (30% of ₱85)
= ₱85 + ₱25.50
= ₱110.50
 Consumption of Overtime Pay
On a Rest Day which Falls on a Regular Holiday

Hourly rate = 260% of Regular hourly rate

= 260% × ₱42.50 = ₱110.50
Overtime rate = Rate on rest day + 30% of rate on reg holiday
= ₱110.50 + (30% of ₱110.50)
= ₱110.50 + ₱33.15
= ₱143.65
 Salary
refer to the earnings of employees paid on a monthly or annual basis

 Income
is a broader term than waves or salary

Janine is a stockholder of the Wisdom Corporation. For the

current year, the corporation declared a 10% cash dividend to
stockholders. Janine owns 1,000 shares of the company’s ₱10
par value shares.

Dividend income = No of shares × Par value × Dividend rate

= 1,000 × ₱10 par value × 10%
= ₱1,000
 Net Pay
Joy receives a basic pay of ₱8,500 a month and a 1% commission on her
sales. She sold ₱65,000 for the month. Her deductions are: 4% for SSS
based on her basic monthly pay; ₱100 for PhilHealth; Pag-IBIG, 2%; and
10% Withholding Tax based on gross earnings.

Gross earnings = Monthly pay + Commission

= ₱8,500 + (1% × ₱65,000) = ₱9,150
Deductions: SSS = 4% × ₱8,500 = ₱340
PhilHealth = ₱100
Pag-IBIG = 2% × ₱9,150 = ₱183
Withholding tax = 10% × ₱9,150 = ₱915
Net Pay = Gross Earnings – Deductions
= ₱9,150 – (₱340 + ₱100 + ₱183 + ₱915) = ₱7,612
