Performance Based Bonus (Annual)
The Performance Based Bonus is annual incentive given to all government employees who have been assessed to have contributed

to.
Productivity Enhancement Incentive (PEI)
In addition to the PBB, DEPED teachers may also receive their annual PEI. Contrary to some sources online, the PEI amount is not
fixed. Instead, the amount depends on the level of savings incurred and authorized by the national government to fund the PEI.
This means that the amount you receive will vary depending on these factors.
Personnel Economic Relief Allowance (PERA – Annual)
This is another allowance given to all government employees to augment their take-home pay for the rising cost of living in the
country. The bonus amounts to P2,000 pesos per month regardless of rank or performance. This totals to 24,000 pesos per year
given to all teachers.
Mid-year and Year-end Bonuses + Cash Gift
Regular DEPED Teachers are also entitled to receive two bonuses every year to add to their basic teacher’s pay. This includes:
Mid-Year Bonus
Year-End Bonus
Clothing Allowance
DepEd teachers are required to wear the standard department uniform as mandated Department of Education. To pay for the
uniform, DepEd teachers are given 6,000 pesos every year which comes in the summer break.
Teaching Supplies Allowance (Chalk Allowance)
Aside from uniforms, teachers also need to pay for the supplies that they use for class. They are compensated for this through the
Chalk Allowance, formally named as the Teaching Supplies Allowance.
Long Term Incentives
Loyalty Cash Incentive
This is given to any permanent teacher or non-teaching employee who has served in the Department for at least 10 years
and has a minimum of satisfactory rating in all of those years. A teacher may receive 10,000 pesos in his or her first 10
years and 5,000 pesos every five years after that if eligible.
Step Increment (Salary Increase)
Aside from the loyalty cash bonus discussed above, a DepEd teacher may also be eligible for the Step Increment. This is
an increase in the salary of the teacher within his or her salary grade. This step increment salary increase is given out to
employees who receive a minimum of satisfactory rating for three consecutive years.
Proportional Vacation Pay (PVP)
The Proportional Vacation Pay refers to the amount received by the teacher during school breaks (April, May, and December).
