Basic problem

Basic

PhilHealth premiums are 5% of monthly basic salary, shared equally by employee and employer. For a ₱25,000 salary, how much is deducted from the employee's pay?

Show step-by-step solution

Answer: 625 ₱

  1. Total premium: 0.05×25,000=1,2500.05 \times 25{,}000 = 1{,}250.
  2. Employee share (half): 1,250÷2=6251{,}250 \div 2 = 625 pesos.

Common errors to watch for

  • Reporting the full 5% (₱1,250) instead of the employee's half.
