How to Check your Regular Savings
Regular Savings are your Mandatory Contributions plus additional savings.
It’s usually computed as
1% Employee’s Contribution Rate if Monthly Salary is below PHP 1,500 (Floor is PHP 1,000); or
2 % Employee’s Contribution Rate if Monthly Salary is above PHP 1,500 (Ceiling is PHP 5,000); and
2% Employer Contribution (Minimum of is PHP 1,000, Maximum of 5,000)
So let’s say you ear PHP 10,000 Monthly. Maximum is 5000 * 0.02 = 100. So you will contribute PHP 100 while another PHP 100 from your employer. It’s a total of PHP 200 in your account every month.
You can also add additional savings, which is more than PHP 100/200; we usually term this as MP1. You can upgrade your monthly savings, and it will reflect in your Regular Savings. The higher the savings, the higher your dividends, the higher the amount you can loan, too!
Check your regular savings here by clicking Regular Savings under Products.
You can also see your contributions under “View Contributions.”
You can see that employee savings is actually about 7K while the employer is 6k. There was a year where I increased my monthly contribution from PHP 100 to PHP 200. Hence, the difference. The dividends also increased every year since my savings increased. From a contribution of 17K, dividends are 4K already. Better than the bank!
As Per PAG-IBIG, you may withdraw your Pag-IBIG Regular Savings should any of the following occur:
After 20 years in Pag-IBIG = 240 monthly contributions
When you retire at age 60 (optional) or 65 (mandatory)
Separation from service due to health reasons
Permanent departure from the country
Permanent and total disability or insanity
Upon death, in which case, his legal heirs will receive his TAV plus an additional death benefit
Critical illness of the member or any of his immediate family member, as certified by a licensed physician
How to Check your MP2 Savings
MP2 Savings are Voluntary Savings. The contribution is at least PHP 500 a month for 5 years; however, you can stop if you want or make a one-time deposit.
See your contributions at MP2 Savings under Products. After that, you can choose the MP2 Account you have.
You can choose to receive your MP2 Dividends through any of the following options:
Upon full withdrawal of your MP2 Savings after its 5-year maturity period with your MP2 Dividends compounded annually;
Through annual pay-out with your MP2 Dividends credited to your savings or checking account enrolled in any of Pag-IBIG Fund accredited banks.
