Calculate Your Tax Now Using DOF Tax Calculator

The Department of Finance (DOF) has created the Tax Calculator to help the Filipinos in computing their income taxes once the 2017 Proposed Tax Reform be approved and signed as a law. By using DOF Calculator, we will be able to see how much should be our tax now and how much it will be under the Tax Reform.

Ang Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) ay naglalayon na baguhin ang current tax system para gawin itong mas simple, patas at maayos. Isa sa mga proposal ng TRAIN ay bawasan ang personal income tax. Ang DOF Tax Calculator na ito ay para ipakita kung magkano ang matitipid ng karamihan ng mga taxpayer at saan mapupunta ang buwis kung maipapatupad ang TRAIN.
