Overtime pay at double the ordinary rate, on a 208-hour month
What each field and each line of the result means, where to find it, and what to do if you do not know it.
Your regular monthly pay: Basic, DA, and the allowances you get every month, such as HRA and conveyance. The Supreme Court held in 2026 that these allowances count.
Leave out bonus, incentives and any overtime already paid. If unsure, use your gross monthly salary from your payslip.
Hours you worked beyond the normal limit. Under the Factories Act that is more than 9 hours in a day or 48 hours in a week.
Add up the extra hours for the month. Your attendance or overtime register shows them.
For example: Working 10 hours a day for 20 days is 20 overtime hours.
How many times your normal hourly pay each overtime hour earns. The legal minimum is 2× — double. An employer can pay more, never less.
Your normal pay for one hour: the monthly ordinary wage divided by 208, which is 26 working days of 8 hours.
For example: ₹30,000 a month ÷ 208 = ₹144.23 an hour.
PF and ESI calculator
PF is 12% of Basic + DA from the employee and the same from the employer — ₹1,800 each on the usual ₹15,000 ceiling, with ₹1,250 of the employer’s share going to pension — and ESI is 0.75% from the employee and 3.25% from the employer when gross pay is ₹21,000 a month or less.
In-hand salary calculator
Take-home is your gross salary minus employee PF (12% of Basic, at most ₹1,800 a month on the ₹15,000 ceiling), ESI if your gross is ₹21,000 or less, professional tax and income tax — and under the new regime a salary of up to ₹12,75,000 pays no income tax at all.
Salary slip generator
A salary slip lists the month’s earnings — Basic, HRA and allowances — then the deductions — PF at 12% of Basic, ESI if gross pay is ₹21,000 or less, professional tax and income tax — and the net pay in figures and in words. Fill in yours and download it as a PDF.
