How Do Salary Calculators Work?
To calculate the basic salary, a person must enter the CTC bonus, Provident Fund, professional tax,etc.
An example has been provided here:
Imagine your CTC(Cost To Company) is Rs 5 lakh. The employer provides you a bonus of Rs. 50,000 for the financial year. Therefore, your total gross salary is Rs. 5,00,000 – Rs. 50,000 = Rs. 4,50,000
(The bonus is deducted from the CTC).
The Gross Salary = Rs 5,00,000 – Rs 50,000 = Rs 4,50,000
- The gross salary subtracts the professional tax of Rs 2,400 a year.
- Secondly, it removes the offerings towards the(EPF)Employee Provident Fund made by both the employee and the employer.
- EPF - Employee Provident Fund contribution is calculated on a maximum salary limit of Rs 15,000 every month. It deciphers to 12% of Rs 15,000, which is Rs 1,800 every month or Rs 21,600 every year.
- The yearly contribution of Rs 21,600 towards the EPF (Employee Provident Fund), made by the employee and by the employer towards EPF (Employee Provident Fund).
- Next, let us imagine the employee also has a yearly deduction of Rs 2,000 towards some employee insurance.
|
Total Deductions = Professional tax+ EPF(Employee Contribution)+ EPF(Employer Contribution)+Employee Insurance |
Total Deductions = Rs 2,400 + Rs 21,600 + Rs 21,600 + Rs 2,000 = Rs 47,600.
|
Total Salary = Gross Pay–Total Deductions |
Total Salary = Rs 4,50,000 – Rs 47,600 = Rs 4,02,400
