EN: deduction
That heartbreaking moment when you see your payslip and notice the huge chunk taken out for SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and 'Withholding Tax'. That, my friend, is the pain of kaltas. It's the "what you see is not what you get" of salaries. The reason your 20k salary feels like 15k.
Can also be used as a verb `kaltasan` (to deduct from) or `magkaltas` (to deduct). Very common in financial and payroll contexts.
🇵🇭 Malaki ang kaltas sa sahod ko ngayong buwan dahil sa buwis.
