On basic pay alone a Teacher V at Step 1 earns about ₱506,136 a year, before the bonuses above and before GSIS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG and withholding tax are deducted.
How Teacher V compares to the rank below and above
Most Teacher V teachers arrive from Teacher IV (SG 14, ₱38,764), which is ₱3,414/month less at Step 1.
Promotion to Teacher VI moves you to SG 16, a jump of ₱3,516/month at Step 1 (8.3% more than Teacher V).
The exam that gets you onto this pay scale: the LET
Every DepEd teaching item from Teacher I up requires a PRC teaching license, which you get by passing the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) — a one-day exam with a 75% general average and no test below 50% to pass. PRC held it in March and September in 2026; the 2027 dates aren't announced yet.
