2026 premium rate of 5% under RA 11223 (Universal Health Care Act) — the final scheduled rate. Income floor ₱10,000, ceiling ₱100,000. For employed members the premium is split equally with the employer.

The 5% rate is the final step

The Universal Health Care Act scheduled PhilHealth premiums to climb gradually toward 5%. The 5% rate reached for 2026 is the final step — premiums are not scheduled to rise further under the current law, so the table above is the settled rate rather than another interim increase.

Self-employed and voluntary members

Self-employed, voluntary and other direct-contributing members pay the full 5% of their declared monthly income themselves, within the same ₱10,000 floor and ₱100,000 ceiling. Overseas Filipino Workers are covered under their own contribution rules.
