How this was computed
Night shift differential = hourly rate × 10% × hours worked between 22:00 and 6:00. Hourly rate = daily rate ÷ 8. For a monthly rate, daily rate = monthly rate × 12 ÷ 313.
Estimate only. Not legal, tax, or financial advice.
Worked example
A daily rate of ₱ 800 gives an hourly rate of ₱ 100.00. The night differential is ₱ 10.00 per hour, so 8 night hours add ₱ 80.00.
How it works
The calculator converts your pay into an hourly rate (daily rate ÷ 8; a monthly rate is first converted into a daily rate over 313 paid days a year for a 6-day week) and multiplies it by the 10% night differential and by the hours you worked in the night period.

Frequently asked questions
How much is the night differential in the Philippines?
At least 10% of your regular hourly rate for each hour worked between 22:00 and 6:00, under the Labor Code.
How do I compute night differential from a daily rate?
Divide the daily rate by 8 to get the hourly rate, multiply by 10%, then by the night hours. For ₱ 800 a day and 8 hours, that is ₱ 80.00.
Does night differential apply on overtime and holidays?
