FAQ

Questions people ask before using this

Is this take-home salary calculator accurate for income tax?+

This calculator estimates statutory deductions (PF, ESI, professional tax) but does not calculate income tax (TDS), which depends on your tax regime, exemptions and declarations. Treat the net figure as pre-tax take-home.

How is PF calculated here?+

Employee and employer PF are calculated at 12% of Basic salary, capped at the statutory PF wage ceiling of ₹15,000/month, matching common payroll practice in India.

Does this handle payroll compliance for my company?+

No — this tool is for quick, indicative estimates only. HRPilot AI runs full compliant payroll processing, payslips, PF/ESI filings and approvals for real employees.
