So, how much should you pay for your Pag-IBIG monthly contribution?
As of Feb 2024, the new mandatory Pag-IBIG monthly contribution is now set to ₱200 (employee’s share) and ₱200 (employer’s share). For self-employed professionals and freelancers, the mandatory Pag-IBIG monthly contribution is ₱400 since you will shoulder both the employee’s and employer’s share.
You can pay higher than ₱400, especially if you plan to get a loan or want to save more. Read more FAQs about the Pag-IBIG Regular Savings Program.
Steps on how to pay Pag-IBIG contribution online
Do note that if you were previously employed, you need to change your membership category to voluntary membership.
To change your Pag-IBIG membership category:
- Download this Member’s Change of Information Form (MCIF).
- Go to the nearest Pag-IBIG branch and submit the form. Bring one (1) valid ID with a photocopy of it.
- It only takes a few minutes to update your Pag-IBIG membership category once your MCIF is processed by the officer.
Tip: SM Malls have Government Services Express, a one-stop shop for government agencies, including Pag-IBIG, PhilHealth, SSS, NBI, and more. You can update your Pag-IBIG information there if it’s available in your area.
Once your membership category is changed, you can already start paying your Pag-IBIG contribution online.

Step 6: Pay your Pag-IBIG contribution online
Depending on what you chose as your payment method, you will be redirected to the respective payment platforms.
If you choose the credit or debit card, you will be asked to provide your card number. If you picked Maya or GCash, you will be asked to log in to your respective e-wallet accounts.
Take note of the following convenience fees:
- Maya / GCash – ₱5
- Credit / Debit Card – 1.75% of the total amount
Tip: If you are only paying for one month of Pag-IBIG contribution, we suggest that you use your credit or debit card as you will only pay a convenience fee of ₱1.75, which is 1.75% of ₱100. However, if you opt to pay a higher amount or cover more months, we suggest that you choose GCash or Maya since you will only pay a flat rate of ₱5 as a convenience fee.
That’s basically all the steps on how to pay Pag-IBIG online.
Since you’re paying your Pag-IBIG self-employed contributions, why not pay your SSS contributions and PhilHealth contributions, and Pag-IBIG MP2 Savings online, too?
