Holiday Pay Calculator Philippines
In the Philippines, working on a regular holiday pays 200% of your daily wage (100% even if unworked), while a special non-working day pays 130% if worked and nothing if unworked ("no work, no pay"). If the day is also your rest day, the rates rise to 260% and 150%. These DOLE multipliers and the official 2026 holiday list from Proclamation No. 1006 are built into the calculator below.

Philippine Holidays 2027: Proclamation No. 1427, s. 2026
The 2027 list is already out. Proclamation No. 1427, s. 2026, signed September 8, 2026, declares 10 regular holidays and 8 special (non-working) days, with Eid'l Fitr and Eid'l Adha to be dated by separate proclamation. See the full calendar, long weekends and what changed from 2026 on the Philippine Holidays 2027 page. The calculator above applies the same DOLE multipliers to either year.
Example Computations
Example 1 — Worked 8h on Christmas Day (regular holiday), ₱610 daily wage: pay = ₱610 × 200% = ₱1,220.
Example 2 — Worked 10h on a special day, ₱75/hour: first 8h = ₱75 × 8 × 130% = ₱780; OT = 2h × ₱75 × 169% = ₱253.50. Total: ₱1,033.50.
Example 3 — Regular holiday falling on your rest day, worked 8h, ₱100/hour: pay = ₱100 × 8 × 260% = ₱2,080.

Who This Applies To
These are the statutory minimums for covered private-sector employees under the Labor Code. Some workers are excluded from holiday-pay coverage (e.g., certain managerial employees, kasambahays under separate rules, field personnel whose hours cannot be determined). Monthly-paid employees may already have unworked regular holidays factored into their monthly rate — check your employment contract or HR policy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is holiday pay on a regular holiday?
If you work on a regular holiday, you are paid 200% of your daily wage for the first 8 hours. If you do not work, you still receive 100% of your daily wage, provided you were present or on paid leave on the workday before the holiday. If the holiday falls on your rest day and you work, the rate is 260%.
How much is the pay on a special non-working day?
Special non-working days follow "no work, no pay": if you do not work, you get nothing unless company policy says otherwise. If you work, you get 130% of your daily wage for the first 8 hours, or 150% if the special day also falls on your rest day.
What is double pay and when do I get it?
"Double pay" refers to the 200% rate for working on a regular holiday. In 2026 there are 12 regular holidays, including New Year’s Day, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Araw ng Kagitingan, Labor Day, Eid’l Fitr (Mar 20), Eid’l Adha (May 27), Independence Day, National Heroes Day, Bonifacio Day, Christmas Day and Rizal Day.
How is overtime paid on a holiday?
Hours beyond 8 on a regular holiday are paid at the holiday hourly rate plus 30% — that is 200% × 130% = 260% of the ordinary hourly rate per OT hour. On a special day, OT is 130% × 130% = 169%.
Am I paid for a regular holiday if I was absent the day before?
To receive the unworked regular-holiday pay, you must have worked or been on paid leave on the workday immediately before the holiday. If you were absent without pay the day before, the employer may lawfully withhold the holiday pay.
Is February 25 (EDSA anniversary) a paid holiday in 2026?
No. In 2026, the EDSA People Power Revolution Anniversary is a special working day — work proceeds normally with no premium pay.
How is holiday pay computed for monthly-paid employees?
Monthly-paid employees are presumed paid for every day of the year (the 365-day factor), so an unworked regular holiday is already inside the monthly salary — no extra pay is due. If they work on a regular holiday they receive an additional 100% of the daily rate (monthly × 12 ÷ 365), for 200% in total; on a special non-working day the addition is 30%. Daily-paid employees instead receive 100% of the daily wage for an unworked regular holiday, subject to the day-before rule.
Which dates are double pay in 2026?
Every regular holiday is a double-pay day if you work it (200% of the daily wage): New Year's Day (Thu, Jan 1), Eid'l Fitr (Fri, Mar 20), Maundy Thursday (Thu, Apr 2), Good Friday (Fri, Apr 3), Araw ng Kagitingan (Thu, Apr 9), Labor Day (Fri, May 1), Eid'l Adha (Wed, May 27), Independence Day (Fri, Jun 12), National Heroes Day (Mon, Aug 31), Bonifacio Day (Mon, Nov 30), Christmas Day (Fri, Dec 25), Rizal Day (Wed, Dec 30). Special non-working days pay 130%, not double.
Magkano ang bayad kung papasok ako sa holiday?
On a regular holiday you are paid 200% of your daily wage for the first 8 hours (260% if it is also your rest day). On a special non-working day the rate is 130% (150% on your rest day). Overtime hours on either day get an additional 30% of the applicable hourly rate.
May bayad ba ang special non-working holiday kung hindi ako papasok?
Wala, as a rule. Special non-working days follow the "no work, no pay" principle, so you are paid only if you work, unless your company policy, practice or collective bargaining agreement grants pay for the day. Regular holidays are different: you receive 100% of your daily wage even if you do not work.
Has the list of holidays for 2027 been released?
Yes. Proclamation No. 1427, s. 2026, signed September 8, 2026, declares 10 regular holidays and 8 special (non-working) days, with Eid'l Fitr and Eid'l Adha to be dated by separate proclamation for 2027. The full 2027 list, long weekends and what changed from 2026 are on the Philippine Holidays 2027 page.
