Salary Calculator
Estimate take-home pay by subtracting the monthly deductions you enter from gross salary. The calculator is intentionally simple so the result can be understood without assuming a particular employer's payroll structure.

What is the Salary Calculator?
Actual payslips can contain many components: basic salary, allowances, employee provident fund, professional tax, income tax, reimbursements and benefits. The simple calculator is a starting point rather than a payroll replica.
How the calculation works
Monthly take-home = monthly gross salary − monthly deductions. Annual figures are calculated by multiplying the corresponding monthly amount by 12.
Worked example
If gross monthly salary is ₹50,000 and the deductions entered are ₹5,000, the estimated monthly take-home is ₹45,000 and the annual take-home estimate is ₹540,000.
