Understanding PLDT monthly billing timelines
PLDT assigns every subscriber to one of ten billing cycles. Your billing cycle determines when your monthly invoice is generated and when your payment is due. Understanding this schedule helps you avoid late fees and prevents any service interruption.
Reminder: The dates below are sample representations of PLDT Home’s actual billing cycles. Always follow the invoice date and due date printed on your PLDT bill or shown in the myPLDT app or PLDT Home portal.

How PLDT billing cycles work
Your billing period covers roughly thirty days of service. Once the period ends, PLDT generates your invoice on the cycle’s invoice date. The payment due date follows around twenty to twenty five days later depending on your assigned cycle.
Missing the deadline may lead to temporary disconnection until payment is posted. If you recently changed plans or migrated accounts, your cycle might shift slightly, so check your printed or digital bill often.
Auto debit and online payment options
PLDT offers several convenient payment methods that help you pay on time without visiting a payment center. Here are the most common options:
• Auto debit arrangement (ADA)
You can enroll your credit card or bank account for automatic monthly payment. This ensures your bill is settled on the due date and removes the need to manually pay each month. Contact your bank or use the PLDT Home portal to check if your card or account is eligible.
• Digital wallets
Payments using GCash, Maya, ShopeePay and similar services often post within twenty four hours. Always double check the account number and payment reference before submitting.
• Online banking
Most major Philippine banks offer PLDT bill payment in their mobile apps or online platforms. Posting time ranges from real time to up to three banking days.
• Over the counter
PLDT partners with accredited payment centers. Processing time varies by location so it is best to pay a few days before the due date.
Helpful billing reminders
• Follow the invoice date and due date printed on your PLDT Home Statement of Account.
• Pay early when using channels that take longer to post.
• Keep your payment confirmation or receipt for reference.
• If your due date falls on a holiday, payment made on the next working day is usually accepted but it is safer to settle earlier.
