Question 5

How does pro-rata salary calculation work?

Accepted Answer

Enter total working days for the month and the actual number of days paid. The tool automatically calculates pro-rata salary. For example: if working days = 30 and paid days = 25, salary is calculated as (25 ÷ 30) × monthly salary. Loss of Pay days are shown separately on the slip.

Question 6

What is the standard salary structure in India?

Accepted Answer

A standard India salary structure includes Basic salary (typically 40–60% of CTC), HRA (40–50% of Basic), Medical Allowance (₹1,250/month), Conveyance Allowance (₹1,600/month), and Special Allowance (balance amount). Deductions include Employee PF at 12% of Basic, ESIC at 0.75% of gross (if salary ≤ ₹21,000), and Professional Tax as per state.

Question 7

How is PF calculated on a salary slip?

Accepted Answer

Employee PF is calculated at 12% of Basic salary. If the Basic salary exceeds the PF wage ceiling (₹15,000 by default), PF is calculated on ₹15,000 only — i.e., ₹1,800 per month. You can set a different PF cap using the 'Customise Salary Structure Rules' toggle. Employer PF contribution (3.67% of Basic) is not shown as a deduction on the employee's payslip.

Question 10

What is the difference between CTC and take-home salary?

Accepted Answer

CTC (Cost to Company) is the total annual expense a company incurs for an employee, including employer PF and ESIC contributions, gratuity, and other benefits. Take-home salary (net pay) is what the employee actually receives after all deductions — employee PF, ESIC, and Professional Tax — are subtracted from gross salary. CTC and take-home can differ by 15–25% depending on salary level and structure.
