Important details about the Pag IBIG Increase 2024
The current Pag-IBIG savings policy is based on a member’s monthly fund salary (MFS), which is set at two percent with a P5,000 limit. This was expected to grow to P7,500 in 2021 and to P10,000 this year, but both were postponed.
January 2024 will see the MFS at P10,000 times two percent. Accordingly, the business will match the employee’s savings by an additional P200, according to Acosta. There are 15.58 million active members on Pag-IBIG at the moment.
According to Acosta, the rise in contributions may bring in an extra P30 billion annually. Our ability to lend will decrease if it is postponed once more. Since we use the money we gather to provide homes, Acosta stated.
In order to give employers and even the Department of Budget and Management time to be ready for the new budget requirement, the Pag-IBIG head stated that the organisation has begun notifying companies.
