If you are employed in the formal sector, and you are earning less than P1,500, you need to contribute 1 percent of that amount while your employer matches your contribution twice.
If you are earning more than P1,500 per month, you and your employer should each pay P100.
If you do not have an employer, you only need to pay a maximum of P200 per month.
The contributions must be paid to Pag-IBIG before the 10th day of the succeeding month.
