Salary Calculators
Salary is more than the amount credited each month: parts of it are governed by formulas that only matter at specific moments, such as when you leave a job or claim an exemption. This is where CalPaisa keeps the tools that work on those components. Today the category covers gratuity, estimated from your last drawn basic salary, eligible dearness allowance and counted years of service, with both the Act-covered and other-scheme formulas shown transparently. Rent-based HRA exemption is a tax computation, so it lives in the tax calculators and is linked from here. Every tool shows the formula, the assumptions behind it and where an employer's own figure might legitimately differ, so you can check a number rather than simply accept it.

About salary calculators
What this category covers, who it is for, and where it helps most.
What these calculators do
They apply the stated statutory or scheme formula to the salary components you enter and show the intermediate steps — the salary base used, the service counted and the rounding applied — instead of only a final figure.
Who should use them
Employees estimating gratuity before a resignation or retirement, anyone checking an exit settlement against the applicable formula, and people planning around a lump sum they expect to receive.
Benefits
You get a transparent estimate with the formula and assumptions visible, so you can question an employer's calculation with a specific number rather than a general doubt.
Common use cases
- Estimate gratuity payable at 5, 10 or 20 years of service
- Compare the Act-covered formula with a non-covered employer scheme
- See how six or more extra months of service change the counted years
- Check an exit settlement figure against the stated formula
- Estimate rent-based HRA exemption using the linked tax calculator
