Indicative estimate only — not a contract or legal/financial advice. Rank figures are rough industry references; replace them with the exact basic wage, fixed overtime, leave pay and allotment terms in your own POEA-SEC / CBA. Actual take-home varies with the ship's wage scale, union (IBF/ITF) agreement, deductions, taxes and the prevailing exchange rate. Eagle Intelligence stores none of the values you enter — the math runs entirely in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Magkano ang sweldo ng seaman / How much does a Filipino seafarer earn?

It depends on rank, vessel type and the wage scale (company, IBF or ITF). An Able Seaman often earns roughly USD 1,800-2,200/month in basic wage plus guaranteed overtime and leave pay; senior officers earn several times more. Enter your own basic wage above for an accurate estimate.

What is an allotment?

An allotment is the portion of your monthly wage automatically remitted to your family in the Philippines (usually 80% under the POEA-SEC / DMW standard contract). The rest is kept onboard as your cash advance / pocket money.

Is this the exact amount I will receive?

No. This is an indicative estimate. Your real take-home depends on the exact wage scale in your contract, union agreement, overtime actually worked, deductions, taxes and the prevailing exchange rate. Always check your signed POEA-SEC / CBA.

Does Eagle Intelligence store what I type?

No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser. None of the figures you enter are sent to a server or saved.
