Permanent median

₱922,350 take-home
Contract median
₱124,000/month
≈ ₱1,488,000 gross a year
At a median ₱124,000/month, contract work grosses about ₱1,488,000 a year over 12 months, 29% more than the ₱1,152,000 permanent median. That premium has to pay for what an employer would otherwise cover: paid holiday and sick days, pension contributions, and the gaps between contracts.
Contract and permanent benchmarks come from separate samples, so treat the gap as a guide rather than a like-for-like quote. See Data Architect contract rates and contractor take-home →
