Prorated Salary Calculator

There is no single statute mandating a specific method. The Code on Wages, 2019 requires that wages reflect actual work done, but leaves the mechanism to employer policy. Whatever method you adopt should be documented in the appointment letter or HR policy and applied uniformly.

Compute days from the 17th to the end of the month (inclusive). Divide monthly salary by your basis days, then multiply by these worked days. Example: ₹60,000 ÷ 30 × 14 days = ₹28,000 on calendar-day method for a 30-day month.

LOP is deducted from worked days, then the resulting payable days are used in the formula. So if someone worked 20 days and had 2 LOP days, payable = 18, and prorated = (Monthly ÷ Basis) × 18.

Always prorate the gross salary, then compute deductions (EPF, PT, TDS) on the prorated gross. Prorating net would give incorrect deductions and create reconciliation issues with statutory filings.

February has 28 (or 29 in leap years) calendar days, so the divisor is smaller. A person working 15 days in February will receive a higher per-day rate than the same 15 days in January. This is mathematically correct but can confuse employees — fixed-30 avoids the question entirely.

Calendar-day method uses 29 days in Feb of leap years; everything else stays the same. Fixed-30 is unaffected. Working-day method depends on which weekdays fall in that February. The calculator automatically accounts for leap years.

Yes — both EPF (12% employer + 12% employee on basic, capped at ₹15K wage) and ESI (where applicable, on gross up to ₹21K) are computed on the prorated wage, not the full monthly figure. Statutory filings should match the prorated amount paid.

Under the Payment of Gratuity Act, service of 6+ months counts as a full year. Gratuity = (Last drawn basic × 15 × Completed years of service) ÷ 26. For 4 years 7 months, it counts as 5 years.

Legally possible but operationally messy. Most labour-law advisors recommend one method company-wide. If you must differentiate — say, calendar-day for blue-collar and fixed-30 for white-collar — document it explicitly in each appointment letter.
