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

Explicit modeling choice

We compute a gross payout estimate only. Net pay after tax/ESI/PT and employer-specific caps are not included.

Changing the day basis can materially change results — pick what matches your payslip policy best (see accuracy card).

Required inputs

  • Basic + DA (monthly, ₹)
  • Unused leave days eligible for encashment
  • Day basis (26 or 30) for per-day rate

If your employer encashes on Basic only, enter Basic here and treat DA as 0.

Day basis for per-day rate
Enter Basic+DA and leave days to estimate gross encashment.

Assumptions used by this estimate

  • Gross encashment = (Basic+DA monthly ÷ day basis) × unused leave days.
  • Day basis 26 is common in Indian payroll “per day” calculations; 30 is a calendar-day style alternative.
  • Tax exemptions (e.g., Section 10(10AA) where applicable) are not calculated here.
  • Employers may use Basic-only, caps, or rounding rules not modeled.

Worked example (same engine as live calculator)

Engine snapshot: Basic+DA ₹52,000/month, 8 days, 26-day basis → per-day ₹2,000 → encashment ₹16,000 gross (before tax).

FAQ

Why two day bases?

Companies differ. If you don’t know, compare both and treat the range as uncertainty, not precision.
