Payroll & Take-Home Salary Calculator

Employee take-home salary after EPF, professional tax and TDS deductions.

Overview

Calculates employee take-home pay, employer payroll overhead, statutory provident fund (EPF), ESI, professional tax, and monthly TDS withholdings.

Formula & Calculation Method

Net Take-Home = Gross Salary - (Employee EPF 12% + ESI 0.75% + PT + TDS Withholding)

Total employer cost equals gross salary plus employer statutory contributions (EPF 3.67%, EPS 8.33%, EDLI 0.5%, ESI 3.25%).

Worked Example: Monthly Salary of ₹45,000 (Basic ₹25,000)

Inputs: Gross Salary = ₹45,000 | Basic Pay = ₹25,000 | Professional Tax = ₹200 | Monthly TDS = ₹1,500

  • Employee EPF deduction (12% of basic) = 0.12 × ₹25,000 = ₹3,000
  • Professional tax = ₹200 | Monthly TDS = ₹1,500
  • Total employee deductions = ₹3,000 + ₹200 + ₹1,500 = ₹4,700
  • Net take-home salary disbursed = ₹45,000 - ₹4,700 = ₹40,300

Summary: Gross Salary = ₹45,000 | Statutory Deductions = ₹4,700 | Net Disbursed = ₹40,300
