Hi, I am Sreelakshmi. My take-home pay is Rs. 10k. Could anybody please help me out in calculating the total salary before deductions? Please let me know the gross salary amount-wise, that is the total salary. Note: Basic, DA, HRA, Medical, PF, ESI amounts clearly.

Hi,

Calculating the total salary mostly depends on the employer's policy, but you can adjust it accordingly after discussing with the top management. The basic salary is typically between 35-65% of the total salary; you can set it within this range, ensuring it does not fall below the minimum wage as per government laws.

HRA is usually 50% of the basic salary; for example, if the basic is 40%, the HRA will be 20%. DA is 25% for Delhi, but you should verify this with your employer. Medical benefits can be allocated as the remaining percentage, such as 10% or 15%.

You can deduct PF from Basic+DA and ESI from the total gross salary.

I hope this information helps you rectify any issues.
