Salary compensation 2026 calculator
Every year the government sets an additional remuneration that employers add to the basic wage from January. People call it the salary compensation.
For 2026 it is Rs 635 a month for a full-time worker earning up to Rs 50,000.
How it's calculated
- Full-time worker with a basic wage up to Rs 50,000: Rs 635 a month.
- Part-time worker below Rs 17,110: 3.7% of the basic wage, rounded up to the next rupee.
- Part-time worker from Rs 17,110 to Rs 50,000: Rs 635 a month.
