HOW TO PAY PAG-IBIG CONTRIBUTIONS (EMPLOYER – 2026)

There are ONLY 2 correct real-world methods employers use:

---

✅ METHOD 1 (RECOMMENDED): Employer Online + PRN

👉 This is the correct and standard process today

---

🧑‍💻 STEP 1: Log in to Employer Portal

Go to:
👉 PAG-IBIG Employer Online Services (EPRS)

• Log in using your:
  • Employer ID (ERID)
  • Username & password

---

📊 STEP 2: Encode or Upload Employees

Inside the system:

• Input your employees:
  • PAG-IBIG MID
  • Names
  • Monthly compensation
  • Contribution (employee + employer)

👉 You can:

• Encode manually
• OR upload Excel file (if many employees)

---

🧾 STEP 3: Generate PRN (Payment Reference Number)

After encoding:

• Click Generate PRN
• This is VERY IMPORTANT ❗

👉 PRN = proof that:

• Your employee list is recorded
• Your payment will be matched correctly

---

💳 STEP 4: Pay Using PRN (THIS is the actual payment step)

Now you pay using the PRN via:

✔️ Online Payment Options:

• GCash
• Maya
• UnionBank online
• BDO online

👉 Choose “Bills Payment → PAG-IBIG”

• PRN
• Amount

❗ IMPORTANT RULE

👉 NO PRN = HIGH RISK OF ERROR

If you just pay without PRN:

• Contributions may NOT be posted to employees
• You’ll have reconciliation problems later

If you don’t want online:

1. Fill up RF-1 form (Employer Remittance Form)
