How is the Take Home Salary calculated?
We made this Calculator so that no one will ever need to manually do
their salary calculations! However, the below explanation is provided
for those who want to understand how the calculations are done.
Step 1. Determine Gross Salary: Before we can calculate the
Net Salary, we should first determine the Gross salary. Gross Salary
is obtained by subtracting the Employer's contribution Provident Fund
contribution(EPF) and Gratuity from Cost to Company(CTC).
Gross Salary = Cost to Company(CTC) -
Employer's PF Contribution(EPF) - Gratuity.
Step 2. Determine Taxable Income: Taxable income is
obtained by subtracting Conveyance Allowance, House Rent
Allowance(HRA), Leave Travel Allowance(LTA) Professional Tax, Medical
Bills, Medical Insurance, Tax Saving Investments .
Taxable Income = Gross Salary -
Employee's PF Contribution(PF) - Conveyance Allowance - HRA - LTA -
Medical Bills - Medical Insurance - Tax. Saving Investments - Other
Deductions.
Step 3. Calculate Income Tax: Calculate Income tax by
applying
Income
Tax Slabs and rates. Apply 4% Heath and Educational cess to the income tax .
Step 4. Calculate Take
Home Salary; Subtract the Income Tax, Provident Fund (PF) and
Professional Tax from the Gross Salary(determined in step 1).
Take Home Salary = Gross Salary - Income
Tax - Employee's PF Contribution(PF) - Prof. Tax.
Calculated values may not match with your payslip
due the following reasons:
1. Your variable pay is paid quarterly, so you will not have the same
take home each month, in the months the variable pay is paid, your
take home salary will be more than the calculated value. In other
months, it would be less than the calculated amount.
2. Your
CTC includes your variable pay, as the name indicates variable pay
amount differs based on various factors. This will cause your CTC to
vary, this will have a knock-on effect on your take home. You can
correct his by adjusting your CTC to match the actual amounts in
variable pay. For example, if your CTC is ₹ 15 Lakhs which
includes a variable pay of ₹ 2 lakhs, however you only received
₹ 1 lakh as part of your variable pay for this financial year.
In this case enter your CTC as ₹ 14 lakhs for accurate
calculations.
3. The Salary Calculator calculates your PF
and EPF to be 12% of your Basic Pay and Gratuity as 4.81% of Basic
Pay. If your PF is paid as a different percentage, you need to enter
the actual mount paid to you in the PF field for accurate
calculations.
