Understanding Your Net Salary
Your Net Salary is the final amount that you receive in your bank account on payday. Many employees are surprised when their first paycheck is lower than they expected, which is why understanding the gross-to-net calculation is vital.
Gross vs Net Salary
The calculation is straightforward: Net Salary = Gross Salary - All Deductions. The primary deductions usually include:
- Provident Fund (EPF): A mandatory retirement savings contribution.
- TDS (Tax Deducted at Source): Estimated monthly income tax deduction.
- Professional Tax: A nominal state tax.
