2026 Pag-IBIG Rate & MFS Cap
Under Pag-IBIG Circular No. 460 (2024), the Monthly Fund Salary (MFS) cap was increased from ₱5,000 to ₱10,000. This means maximum mandatory contributions are now ₱200 per month for both employee and employer (up from ₱100).
| Monthly Salary | Employee Rate | Employee Contribution | Employer Contribution | Total (mandatory) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₱1,000 | 1% | ₱10.00 | ₱20.00 | ₱30.00 |
| ₱1,500 | 1% | ₱15.00 | ₱30.00 | ₱45.00 |
| ₱5,000 | 2% | ₱100.00 | ₱100.00 | ₱200.00 |
| ₱8,000 | 2% | ₱160.00 | ₱160.00 | ₱320.00 |
| ₱10,000+ | 2% | ₱200.00 (max) | ₱200.00 (max) | ₱400.00 |
Voluntary Top-up Contributions
Members can contribute above the ₱200 mandatory cap. Voluntary top-ups earn annual dividends (historically 6–8% per year) and grow your total Pag-IBIG savings — which factors into your maximum loan amount. There is no statutory cap on voluntary contributions.

- Housing Loan: Up to ₱6.5M at rates starting at 6.375% (socialized) to 10.5% (market)

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Pag-IBIG membership mandatory?
Yes for employees, under RA 9679 (the Home Development Mutual Fund Law of 2009). Self-employed individuals and OFWs may register as voluntary members.
Can I contribute more than the ₱200 mandatory cap?
Yes, through the Modified Pag-IBIG II (MP2) savings program, which lets you contribute additional amounts that earn a separate, typically higher dividend rate than mandatory savings.
When can I withdraw my Pag-IBIG savings?
Total mandatory contributions plus dividends can be claimed after 20 years of membership, or earlier upon retirement, permanent disability, or other qualifying separation grounds under Pag-IBIG rules.
