A Philippine employer pays social security through the SSS, plus health and housing fund contributions.

What does an employer pay on top of salary in the Philippines?

This is a floor, not the full cost: major employer charges in the Philippines are left out, as explained below.

Each charge, and what it is for

PhilHealth is left out: its official pages give only the total and say it is shared equally, never the employer half as a figure. Both charges shown stop at a pay ceiling, so the total runs high for well paid staff.

What does one employee in the Philippines cost a year?

Salary plus the charges above plus the vendor's published monthly fee, for twelve months. "At least" marks a vendor whose published fee is a starting price. Not included: benefits and currency conversion fees.
