Your Life in Perspective (The Introvert's Perspective by Ælfræd)

I've created an on-page 13^th Month Pay Calculator to help my fellow workers out there in projecting the amount that they will be receiving this coming December.

We are nearing the end of 2017, we will be facing the challenges of the new year 2018 with renewed hope and enthusiasm. But the final battle for the previous year is in the month of April, which is the dreaded filing of the Income Tax Returns (ITR) to BIR (Bureau of Internal Revenue).

December! It is probably the happiest month of the year. This is the month where resolutions are made and mostly broken at the start of the new year. Long Holidays, Sales here and there, Parties left and right, Gift giving, and playing the game of tag or hide and seek with our god-children…. If you know what I mean.

This article is the continuation of my previous post titled The Philippines Social Security System – SSS. I advise reading the article to have a full grasp of what we will discuss here.

As mandated by law, all individuals working in private institutions, self-employed and OFWs must have an SSS fund.
