This page brings together three DepEd memoranda on how to compute the Proportional Vacation Pay (PVP) of public school teachers. Each one gives field offices a uniform basis for computing the PVP of all public elementary and secondary teachers under the teacher’s leave basis for one school year. Each also sets the factor used to compute absences and PVP for that year.

Summary of the three memoranda
| Memorandum | School year | Total PVP | Christmas vacation days | Summer vacation days | Actual days served | Factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DM No. 108, s. 2018 | 2017-2018 | 70 days | 12 days | 58 days | 294 days | 0.238 |
| DM No. 97, s. 2017 | 2016-2017 | 70 days | 12 days | 58 days | 287 days | 0.244 |
| DM No. 78, s. 2016 | 2015-2016 | 88 days | 16 days | 72 days | 290 days | 0.303 |
How the PVP factor is computed
All three memoranda use the same method:
- Start with the total number of days served in the school year.
- Subtract the Christmas vacation days. The result is the actual days served.
- Add the Summer vacation days and the Christmas vacation days. The result is the total PVP.
- Divide the total PVP by the actual days served. The result is the factor.
For example, for SY 2017-2018: 58 Summer days + 12 Christmas days = 70 days of PVP. Then 70 ÷ 294 actual days served = 0.238.
Working the other way, actual days served multiplied by the factor gives the total PVP. Subtracting the Christmas vacation days from that total gives the Summer vacation days earned.
