What’s a Salary Calculator?

Our Salary Calculator is your paycheck decoder! Enter your basic salary, allowances, and deductions, and it’ll show you exactly how much you take home after taxes, PF, and more. It’s like having a financial planner in your pocket!

How Does Salary Calculation Work?

Your salary has two parts: gross salary (what your employer pays) and net salary (what you take home). Gross salary includes basic pay, HRA, and allowances. Deductions like PF, income tax, and professional tax reduce it to your net salary. Our calculator crunches these numbers for you, so you can plan your budget with ease!
