Service Incentive Leave (SIL) Calculator and Leave Benefits

Five days with pay every year, for every employee who has rendered at least one year of service (Labor Code Art. 95). "One year of service" means 12 months, continuous or broken, counted from the start date, including authorized absences, unworked rest days and paid regular holidays. SIL can be used for sickness, vacation or any other purpose.

Yes. Unused SIL can be converted to its money value at the end of the year, and any SIL neither used nor converted must be paid when you resign or are separated. The conversion uses your daily rate on the date of conversion and may be pro-rated (DOLE Handbook 2024, Ch. 7). Five unused days at ₱695.00 a day are worth ₱3,475.00.

Count the SIL earned and not yet used or converted, including a pro-rated share of the current year, and multiply by your daily rate at separation. DOLE's example: an employee hired on January 1, 2023 who resigned on March 1, 2024 at ₱610.00 a day earned 5 days for 2023 plus 2/12 × 5 = 0.833 days for January–February 2024, a total of 5.833 days worth ₱3,558.13. It is part of your final pay.

Government employees, including those of GOCCs with original charters; Persons in the personal service of another; Managerial employees (manage the establishment or a department, regularly direct two or more employees, and can hire or fire or effectively recommend it); Officers or members of a managerial staff meeting the Handbook's four conditions; Field personnel and others whose time and performance are unsupervised; Those already enjoying the benefit; Those with vacation leave with pay of at least five days; Those in establishments regularly employing fewer than ten employees (DOLE Handbook 2024, Ch. 7).

The only general paid leave in the Labor Code is the five-day SIL, which may be used as sick or vacation leave. Separate vacation and sick leave credits come from company policy, the employment contract or a collective bargaining agreement; an employer that already gives at least five days of paid vacation leave does not have to add SIL on top.
