2026 Philippines Salary Benchmarks by Role
Market Intelligence · 7 min read · Updated 2026-07
In 2026, fully-managed offshore roles in the Philippines typically range from around $1,100/mo for entry-level admin and data roles to $3,600/mo for senior developers and DevOps, with most professional roles falling between $1,600 and $2,600/mo. These figures bundle salary, recruitment, payroll, equipment and management — usually 60–70% below a comparable local hire.
Rates by band
Entry-level admin, data entry and support sit around $1,100–$1,600/mo. Mid-level professional roles — bookkeepers, marketing, coordinators, customer success — run roughly $1,600–$2,400/mo. Senior specialists and developers reach $2,600–$3,600/mo. Working full AU/UK/US hours adds a modest premium.
What drives the number
Seniority and skill scarcity are the main drivers, followed by required working hours. Because the managed rate already includes everything around the person, it's close to the true cost — unlike a local salary, which is only part of the picture.
