What this site computes

The generator computes exactly two figures. Everything else on a wage slip is a line you type, because the site will not publish a number it cannot trace to an instrument and a date.

The two figures it computes

Each figure carries a two-line footnote: the arithmetic a reader can redo, then the instrument behind it — the rate's paragraph, the ceiling's gazette number, the rounding rule — with the date of the version that governed the wage period. The footnote prints on the sheet as well as on screen, because it is part of the document (ADR-0009). If you overwrite a figure, the preview marks it as your own and shows no formula for it, while the figure you typed prints on its own.

  1. Provident fund, employee's share

    Formula: nearest rupee of 12% of PF wages, capped at the ceiling.

    Base: PF wages, using wages as s.2(88) defines them and the ceiling in force for the wage period.

  2. Employees' state insurance, employee's share

    Formula: next higher rupee of 0.75% of ESI wages, capped at the ceiling.

    Base: ESI wages, with house-rent allowance, conveyance and overtime left out, and the ceiling for the wage period.

    • The employee's share is 0.75% of wages and has not moved since 2019-07-01.

Which rule version a wage period gets

Two dated rule sets are held. A wage period takes, per rule, the newest version in force on the period’s end date: the ₹15,000 provident-fund ceiling from 2026-05-08 to 2026-09-16, and the ₹25,000 ceiling from 2026-09-17. The insurance rate and ceiling have not moved since 2019-07-01, so they apply to both. A wage period before 2026-05-08 is not computed: the affected line drops to a manual entry and the rest of the slip still prints.

  • Wage slips are prescribed as Form V, issued on or before wages are paid.

  • Rounding directions are stated by rule. No retrieved instrument publishes a worked rounding example, so the directions here are taken from the rule text alone.

The seven things it refuses to compute

Where the site holds no instrument, it says so and offers a line you fill in. It never presents a guess as a computation.

  1. Income tax withheld from wages

    What is withheld depends on the employee’s tax position and on instruments this site does not hold, so the line is typed by the visitor.

    No instrument this site holds states a rule for withholding, so the line is yours to fill in.

  2. United States federal and State withholding

    Each State sets its own withholding tables and the site holds none of them, so the line stays manual.

    No instrument this site holds carries these tables, so the line is yours to fill in.

  3. Whether an establishment falls under employees' state insurance

    Coverage turns on a threshold an establishment may or may not meet, and the site never decides coverage for the visitor.

    The coverage thresholds are not held here, so the site never decides coverage for you.

  4. The average daily wage exemption of ₹176

    One secondary source states the figure and the insurer’s own pages do not carry it, so it is marked secondary and never decides whether anyone is covered.

    Stated by a secondary source only

  5. Pro-rating for a joiner or leaver inside a wage period

    The site holds no pro-rating formula, so a part period is typed as the amounts the employer actually owes.

    This site holds no part-period formula, so a part period is typed at the amount you owe.

  6. Employer shares, EPS, EDLI and EPF administrative charges

    These are employer-side charges, outside what this site produces; the employee’s slip carries the employee’s lines only.

    These charges are not held here, so the slip carries the employee lines only.

  7. Any State professional tax calculation

    States disagree, and a recent State amendment could not be verified from its own public statement, so professional tax stays a suggested manual line.

    Professional tax is State-level and unverified here, so it stays a suggested manual line with no computation.
