An Employee's salary, from "Basic salary" To "Take home salary", the whole process is explained below with its formula & calculations.

The Employer also has to contribute to the government, the employers contribution is as follows:

1. Skill Base: There are four types categories in Skill Base like Unskilled, Semi Skilled, Skilled & Highly Skilled.

2. Date of Joining: You have to enter the employee's Date of Joining the company.

3. Basic Salary: Basic Salary is given according to employee's Skill Base, from which category it belongs to. The salary of the employee is already categorized according to the Zone he belongs.

8. Special Allowance: The Company decides its Special Allowance given to the employee.
Formula = ("special allowance"/no. of days present) *no. of days of the month.
i.e. The Special allowance provided by the company is divided by the employee's no. of days present, then multiplied by no. of days of that month.

9. Meal allowance: The Company decides its Meal Allowance given to the employee.
Formula = ("meal allowance"/no. of days present) *no. of days of the month.
i.e. The Meal allowance provided by the company is divided by the employee's no. of days present, then multiplied by no. of days of that month.

10. Conveyance: The Company decides its Conveyance given to the employee.

Formula = ("Total salary"/no. of days of the month) = 1 day salary.(1 day salary"/ 8 - working hrs)= 1 hr salary. Therefore: O.T = O.T working hrs * 1 hr salary * O.T ratio of the company.
i.e. The Total earned salary of the employee is divided by the no. of days of the month which calculates as 1 day salary. Then 1-day salary is divided by 8 (official working hrs), which calculates as 1 hr salary, which helps you to calculate the total overtime hours of the employee. Therefore the total O.T of the employee is multiplied by 1 hr salary and then multiplied by over time ratio of the company.

Formula =(If (the total earned salary is >2500,2500*8.33%))
i.e. If the employee's total earned salary is more than Rs 2500, then Rs 2500 is multiplied by 8.33 percentage, the rest gets transferred to exgratia account.

17. Exgratia: According to the government's rule, if the total earned salary of the employee is more than Rs 2500/ than remaining amount is transferred to Exgratia account, then that remaining amount is calculated with 8.33%.
Formula = (The total earned salary - Bonus) *8.33 %
i.e. The total earned salary of the employee minus the bonus amount, then multiplied by 8.33%( government rule).

18. Gratuity: The government gives Gratuity, if the employee has not taken continuous holidays up to 5 years.

P.T. Slab 0 To 2000 - Rs. 0
(2001 to 2500) - Rs.30
(2500 to 3500) - Rs.60
(3500 to 5000) - Rs.120
(5000 to 10000) - Rs.175
( 7501 and above )-Rs.200

IF (gross salary >5000,175,)
IF (gross salary >3500,120,)
IF (gross salary >2500,60,)
IF (gross salary >2000,30,)
IF (gross salary <2000,0)
