1. What is Rental Income Tax?

Rental income tax in the Philippines is a tax on income derived from renting out property. It's calculated based on gross rental income minus allowable deductions, with progressive tax rates applied to the resulting taxable income.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

\[ \text{Taxable Income} = \text{Gross Rental Income} - \text{Deductions} \] \[ \text{Tax} = \text{Progressive Rate} \times \text{Taxable Income} \]

Where:

Gross Rental Income — Total rental income before any deductions
Deductions — Either 40% standard deduction or actual expenses
