Monthly Salaries of Government Officials in the Philippines (2024 Update)

Understanding the salary structure of public servants in the Philippines provides insight into how taxpayer money is allocated and how leadership roles are compensated. As of 2024, the Salary Standardization Law V (SSL V) sets the pay rates for government employees, including top-level officials. Below is a table showing the monthly salaries of officials from the President down to Barangay Kagawads.

These figures reflect the fourth tranche of SSL V implemented in 2023, which remains the latest publicly available structure. For barangay officials, compensation may vary and is often provided in the form of honoraria depending on the classification and financial capacity of the local government unit (LGU).
