How SalaryExit calculates estimates (methodology, FY scope, and limits).

Employer-side EPS diversion is not modeled separately — see accuracy card.

Required inputs

  • PF wage (monthly) — typically Basic + DA as defined by your employer
  • Whether to apply the common statutory wage ceiling model

If unsure, start with your monthly Basic+DA from payslip.

Wage ceiling model
Enter PF wage to estimate employee + employer contributions.

Assumptions used by this estimate

  • Employee rate 12% and employer rate 12% on PF wage (simplified).
  • Statutory ceiling for PF wage (when enabled): ₹15,000/month.
  • EPS/EDLI/admin splits are not shown — employer cost in real life can differ.

Worked example (same engine as live calculator)

Engine snapshot: PF wage ₹15,000/month with default ceiling rules → employee ₹1,800/mo, employer ₹1,800/mo, total ₹3,600/mo (simplified).

FAQ

Why doesn’t this match my payslip’s employer PF?

Employers split contributions across EPF/EPS/EDLI and may use different wage definitions.
