Payroll System
Payroll Management Systems (PMS) remain one of the highest-demand capstone topics for Philippine BSIT and BSCS students. This hub collects free source code, step-by-step tutorials, and complete UML documentation for building payroll systems that compute salaries, deduct SSS/PhilHealth/Pag-IBIG/BIR contributions, calculate 13th month pay, and generate payslips, fully BIR-compliant for Philippine workplaces.
What you’ll find in the Payroll System hub
Complete source code in PHP + MySQL, Python (Django), Java (NetBeans), VB.NET + SQL Server
Philippine tax compliance modules: TRAIN Law BIR withholding, SSS contribution tables, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG
13th month pay calculator with automatic prorating for partial-year employees
Payslip generation: PDF export or printable HTML formats
Step-by-step tutorials covering database design, tax computation, and report generation
UML diagrams: Use Case, Activity, Sequence, Class, ER for capstone documentation
Philippine-specific calculations your system needs
Standard modules panels expect in 2026:
SSS contribution table: bracket-based, store in DB for easy updates
PhilHealth contribution: percentage-based with monthly cap
Pag-IBIG contribution: employee/employer split
BIR withholding tax: TRAIN Law brackets (2018 onwards)
Service Incentive Leave (SIL): 5 days/year minimum
13th month pay: total basic salary ÷ 12, paid by December 24
Overtime computation: 25% premium for overtime, 30% for rest days
Required reports for compliance
A panel-ready PMS should generate:
Individual payslips (PDF or printable)
Payroll summary report per pay period
BIR Form 2316 (annual employee certificate)
SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG remittance reports
13th month pay report (December)
Cost-center reports (optional but impressive)

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Payroll Management System (PMS)?
A Payroll Management System automates employee salary computation, tax deductions (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, BIR withholding for Philippine context), 13th month pay, leave-tracking integration, and payslip generation. For BSIT capstones, PMS typically integrates with an Employee Management or Attendance system, generates BIR-compliant reports, and provides role-based access for HR, employees, and accounting.
What Philippine-specific calculations does the system need?
Required: SSS contributions (bracket table — store in DB), PhilHealth contributions (percentage-based with monthly cap), Pag-IBIG contributions (employee/employer split), BIR withholding tax (TRAIN Law brackets), 13th month pay (total basic salary ÷ 12), Service Incentive Leave (5 days/year minimum), overtime computation (25% premium regular, 30% rest day). Reference latest contribution tables — rates change annually.
What technology stack works best for a Philippine payroll capstone?
For Philippine BSIT capstones, PHP + MySQL + Bootstrap is the most defensible — easy deployment, panels familiar with it. Python (Django) is cleaner for computation-heavy tax bracket logic. VB.NET + SQL Server works for desktop-focused capstones. Whichever stack you choose, encapsulate Philippine-specific tax/contribution logic in clearly-named functions so your panel can trace the formulas.
What UML diagrams are required for a payroll capstone?
Minimum: Use Case Diagram (HR Officer, Employee, Admin, Accountant actors), Activity Diagram (payroll computation workflow from attendance → salary computation → tax deductions → payslip), Class Diagram (Employee, Salary, Deduction, Payslip entities), Sequence Diagram (payslip generation flow), ER Diagram for the full database. Browse our UML diagram library for editable templates.
What reports should the payroll system generate?
Required: Individual payslips (PDF or printable), payroll summary report (per pay period), BIR Form 2316 (annual employee certificate), SSS/PhilHealth/Pag-IBIG remittance reports, 13th month pay report (December). Optional impressive features: cost-center reports, attendance vs payroll variance analysis, year-over-year salary trends, and exportable CSV files for accounting integration.
How does payroll integrate with attendance tracking?
Payroll reads from the attendance table (or imports a CSV export from a separate Employee Management System). For each pay period, it sums regular hours, overtime, late deductions, and absence deductions per employee. Best practice: design a
pay_period table that locks attendance records once payroll is computed — prevents retroactive changes and provides an audit trail that impresses panels.What are common panel questions for a payroll defense?
Frequent: How does your system handle salary adjustments mid-period? What if SSS/BIR contribution rates change after computation (give versioning answer)? Show me how the system calculates 13th month pay step-by-step. How do you ensure data integrity when an HR officer accidentally deletes a record (backup/restore strategy)? How would the system handle 1000 employees on payday — performance implications? Prepare answers with code references and trace through your actual implementation.
