What is gross salary?
Gross salary is total earnings before tax and other deductions. In this calculator it includes base salary and annual bonus.
What is net or take-home salary?
Net salary is the estimated amount remaining after the entered tax and deduction percentages are subtracted from gross earnings.

What can other deductions include?
They may include provident fund, insurance, retirement contributions, professional tax, or employer-specific payroll deductions.
Why can an actual payslip differ?
Payroll timing, variable pay, reimbursements, benefits, tax declarations, rounding, and statutory rules can change actual take-home pay.
This calculator provides an estimate and is not tax, payroll, or financial advice. Use your payslip or consult a qualified professional for official figures.
