Ten Free Apps We Built for Filipinos in Singapore (and When to Use Each)

filipinos.sg has ten free apps and calculators for Filipinos in Singapore. They work out your peso rate, rest-day pay, baggage limit and next long weekend on your phone, with no sign-up.

Most of them started as a question in the group chat. How much peso will I get if I send today? What can I bring on Cebu Pacific without paying extra? My employer wants me to work Sunday, how much is that worth?

The answers sit in bank pages, airline tables, MOM circulars and holiday lists nobody wants to read on a phone. These tools do the reading for you.

Money

Exchange Rates shows live SGD to PHP rates side by side, so you see what your padala is worth before you decide where to send it.

The gap between the best and worst counter on the same afternoon is often bigger than the transfer fee. Check it before you queue at Lucky Plaza.

Work

Helper Rest-Day Pay works out what your employer owes you when you work on a rest day or public holiday. It follows the MOM formula.

Enter your monthly salary, pick the day, and it shows the number.

Leave Planner lines up your annual leave against Singapore public holidays and shows which days to file for the longest break.

Some years, four leave days buy you nine days off.

Going home, and going away

Luggage Allowance compares hand-carry and checked baggage across Cebu Pacific, Scoot, PAL, Singapore Airlines and AirAsia. Excess baggage at the counter is the easiest trip cost to avoid.

JB Day-Out Cost adds up a Johor Bahru day trip in Singapore dollars and ringgit: transport, food, massage, mani-pedi. The fares are the real Causeway Link ones, checked against the board at Queen Street.

Batam Day-Out Cost does the same for Batam, including the ferry and the terminal fees people forget until they reach HarbourFront.

Everyday

Filipino Map is a growing directory of Filipino restaurants, groceries and services around the island. Open it when you want kabayan food in an unfamiliar area.

Kopi Calculator decodes the kopitiam order: Kopi O, Kopi C, Siew Dai, Kosong, Gau, Peng, Da Bao. Build your drink and it gives you the phrase to say at the stall.

Events Calendar collects concerts, OPM shows, embassy consular outreach and community gatherings in one place.

Cycle Tracker is a period and fertility calendar that stays on your phone. Nothing goes to our servers, and you can lock it behind a PIN. If you live in, that last part matters.

Why we built them instead of writing more articles

An article tells you the rule. A tool gives you your number.

A rest-day pay guide still leaves you guessing, because your answer depends on your salary. The calculator skips that step. Same with baggage, leave and the JB trip you plan for next month.

They cost nothing to use. No account, no email, no upsell. A few work offline once the page loads.

Where to find them

Everything lives at filipinos.sg/apps. On your phone, tap the yellow grid icon at the top of any page, or use the shortcut in the red button in the bottom corner.
