Managing payroll in the Philippines comes with constant changes in government-mandated deductions. This 2025, employers must prepare for the PhilHealth increase, which will affect salary computations and overall payroll expenses. Proper planning and compliance will help businesses avoid penalties and ensure smooth payroll operations.

Understanding the PhilHealth 2025 Increase

The PhilHealth deduction 2025 follows the scheduled adjustments under the Universal Health Care (UHC) law. The contribution rate has increased to 5%, with a ceiling salary of PHP 100,000. This means higher deductions for employees and increased employer contributions. These changes aim to strengthen the healthcare system but also impact payroll expenses for businesses.

The increase means businesses need to adjust payroll computations to comply with government-mandated contributions. Non-compliance can result in penalties, legal complications, and unnecessary financial burdens.

The Impact on Businesses

For SMEs and large corporations, the PhilHealth 2025 increase adds to operational costs. Payroll teams must ensure accuracy in computing salaries, deductions, and employer contributions while keeping employees informed about their updated take-home pay.

HR and payroll teams must also update payroll systems to accommodate the changes. Errors in deductions can lead to employee dissatisfaction, compliance issues, and additional administrative workload.

Beyond compliance, employers should also assess the broader financial impact of the contribution increase. Businesses with a large workforce may see a significant rise in payroll costs, requiring adjustments in budgeting and financial planning. Employers should also be proactive in communicating these changes to employees to maintain trust and transparency.
