Cost guides
FAQ
How much does a web developer cost in the Philippines?
Hiring directly, foreign businesses pay $5.31–$14.00 an hour on hourly work, or $500–$1,500 a month full-time (OnlineJobs.ph job search results, OnlineJobs.ph blog, checked Oct 2026). Local employers in the Philippines pay $2.29–$5.09 an hour ($397–$882 a month full-time), which is local pay, not the rate for remote work for a foreign client.
What is the monthly salary of a web developer in the Philippines?
Published full-time pay for remote work for foreign businesses is $500–$1,500 a month. Local employers pay $397–$882 a month. Both use 40 hours a week and are in USD.
Why is hiring directly different from local pay in the Philippines?
They measure two different markets. Local pay is what employers in the Philippines pay local staff. Direct-hire figures come from job ads, salary guides and surveys for remote work for foreign businesses. For this role the second runs about 2.3× the first, midpoint to midpoint, so local pay isn't a good guide to what a remote hire will cost.
How does the Philippines compare with hiring a web developer in the US?
Employees' wages in the US run $30.88–$60.69 an hour for the middle 50% of workers, before benefits and payroll taxes. Hiring directly in the Philippines, published figures come to $2.88–$14.00 an hour, with full-time pay converted to an hourly figure. That's pay only: you'd still do the recruiting, contract and payments yourself.
What does an agency charge for a web developer?
Agencies set their own prices, and many don't publish them. As one published example, VA MASTERS (the parent company of this site's publisher) lists $12.00–$25.00 an hour for its Tech / Development category, all-inclusive. Ask any agency what its rate covers: recruiting, replacement, payroll and fees.
