The salary components vary with different employers. Below is a list of the most common salary components.
Basic Salary: It is a fixed base part of an individual’s compensation package. Basic Salary is taxable & usually 35-50% of the total gross salary. However, it is usually determined by taking an employee’s designation, experience & industry of work into account.
House Rent Allowance (HRA): It is a monetary benefit given to employees by companies for expenses related to rented accommodation. It is a fully taxable component if you do not stay in rented property.
Leave Travel Allowance (LTA): It is a type of allowance which is provided by the employer to his employee who is travelling on leave from work to cover his travel expenses. LTA is an important component of the salary of the employee as it is eligible for income tax exemption as per the Income Tax Act, 196.
Special Allowance: Special allowance is a fixed amount that is given to employees over and above the basic salary in order to meet certain requirements. It is a fully taxable component of your salary.
Bonus: It is a performance based incentive given to the employee by their employer. The entire bonus amount is fully taxable.

Professional Tax: It is the tax levied and collected by the state governments in India. It is a direct tax and the maximum amount payable per year is INR 2,500.

How does AmbitionBox salary calculator calculate the monthly take home salary?
Take-Home Salary is the total salary that an employee gets after all necessary deductions are made.
Understand from below how AmbitionBox salary calculator exactly calculates the in-hand or take home salary.
Step 1. Start with calculating the Gross Salary:
Gross salary is not your basic salary nor your CTC. It is obtained by subtracting the Employer's contribution to Provident Fund (EPF) and Gratuity from Cost to Company (CTC).
Gross Salary = Cost to Company (CTC) - Employer's PF Contribution (EPF) - Gratuity
Gratuity calculation:
Gratuity = (Basic salary + Dearness allowance) × 15/26 × No. of Years of Service
We can assume dearness allowance to be zero as it is a cost of living adjustment allowance paid to Government employees, Public sector employees (PSU) and pensioners in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and India. Dearness Allowance is calculated as a percentage of an Indian citizen's basic salary to mitigate the impact of inflation on people.
The gratuity that is subtracted every year is = 15/26 x Basic Salary (Monthly) X 1
Step 2. Then calculate the Taxable Income:Taxable income is obtained by subtracting Tax-free Allowance, House Rent Allowance (HRA), Leave Travel Allowance (LTA) Professional Tax, Medical Insurance, Tax Saving Investments.
Taxable Income = Gross Salary - Employees PF Contribution(PF)/PPF investment - Tax free Allowance - HRA - LTA - Medical Insurance - Tax. Saving Investments - Other Deductions
HRA that can be exempted is calculated as the minimum of three values:
The amount received as the HRA from the employer. Actual rent paid minus 10% of the basic salary. 50% of the basic salary if staying in a metro city and 40% in a non-metro city
Step 3. Calculate Income Tax: Calculate Income tax by applying the one of the below Income Tax Slabs and rates. FY21-22, Individuals have options to choose from 2 different Tax Slabs and Rates.
Option-1 Old Tax Regime
Individual (resident or non-resident), who is of the age of less than 60 years on the last day of the relevant previous year:
This will be applicable for Financial Year 2022-23 (or Assessment year 2023-24).
Option-2 New Tax Regime
Income tax slabs under the new tax regime for all individuals for FY 2022-23 (AY 2023-24)
Step 4. Now, calculate the Take Home Salary: Use the below formula for the same. Professional tax varies from state to state. It is not very significant. And hence we approximate it to 200 per month. The maximum Professional tax possible in a year is 2500.
Take-Home Salary = Gross Salary - Income Tax - Employees PF Contribution (PF) - Prof. Tax

How much contribution is mandatory from an Employer towards Employees Provident Fund?
Under the scheme, Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, an employee contributes a certain amount towards EPF on monthly basis & an equal contribution should be made from the employer's end.

Case 1: If your basic salary < 15000 (per month)
Contribution: 12% of the basic salary
Case2: If your basic salary > 15000 (per month)
Contribution: In this case the company has an option to either contribute 12% of 15,000 (i.e. 1800) or 12% of Basic salary.
Therefore, 12% of the basic salary is contributed by the employer and the other 12% is contributed by the employee.

The contribution that is made as a part of your salary is called EPF and can be seen in the payslip. Contribution to the provident fund is mandatory for Indian companies.
