Frequently asked questions

What's a typical basic pay percentage?

Many Indian companies structure basic pay at 40-50% of gross salary, though this varies significantly by company policy — basic pay affects PF contributions and some tax exemptions like HRA.

Why does basic pay percentage matter?

A higher basic pay increases your PF contribution (calculated as a percentage of basic) and can affect HRA exemption limits, while a lower basic pay increases take-home pay in the short term.

How is this different from the Take-Home Salary Calculator?

This calculator only converts annual to monthly and splits basic vs. allowances — it doesn't model tax or PF deductions, which the Take-Home Salary Calculator does.
