Confused About Calculating Daily Salary in India for Different Month Lengths? Let's Discuss!

Dear Professionals,

As per Indian labor law, what is the legal way of calculating the per-day salary of employees with the following details:

- Gross salary: 100,000 per month
- Number of days in a month: 31 (e.g., for the month of August)
- Date of joining: 13th August '12

Question/Confusion:

Number of working days - (100,000 / 31) * (31 - 13 + 1) or
Number of working days - (100,000 / 30) * (30 - 13 + 1)

Regards

It's Gross Salary / Number of days in that month * Total Paid Days. If the Gross salary is 25,000/-, then the per day salary for August is Rs. 806. If an employee is joining on the 13th of August, then the Gross salary will be 19 * 806 = Rs. 15,314/-.

Regards,
Karthik

We have to divide the monthly gross salary by 30 days (30 days as we are also paying for the weekly offs in the month, deducting one day as the month is calculated for 30 days). In the case of daily wages, the weekly offs are not counted and paid only for 26 days.

Calculation Method

So we calculate as follows: Salary per month (Gross) / 30 days in a month x No. of days present. Example: 5000 / 30 * 25 = 4166. Monthly salary = 5000 * 25 / 36 = 4166 (same as above).

Please check the below link for more information on the same: https://www.citehr.com/430332-how-calculate-salary.html

Please note that the standard working days to be considered is 30 days, irrespective of whether the number of days in a month is 28, 29, 30, or 31 days. For salary calculation, you need to consider 30 days only. Therefore, the standard formula stands this way for calculating salary: Gross salary/30 days * No. of working days.

Regards,
Bharghavi

The salary is calculated as below:

Actual Salary Calculation

Actual Salary = Gross Salary / No. of Days in the month * No. of days worked

Gross salary = 100,000

For 28 days, Actual Salary = 100,000 / 28 * 28 = 100,000. His 1-day salary is 3,571/-

For 30 days, Actual Salary = 100,000 / 30 * 30 = 100,000. His 1-day salary is 3,333/-

For 31 days, Actual Salary = 100,000 / 31 * 31 = 100,000. His 1-day salary is 3,225/-

So as per your query, the employee has joined on 13-Aug-2012, so he has worked for 19 days in the month.

Therefore, the gross salary = 100,000 / 31 * 19 = 61,290. His 1-day salary is 3,225.80/-

Regards

You mentioned that standard working days should be considered as 30 days in a month irrespective of 28/29/30/31. However, suppose the salary is to be calculated for the month of August (for example, with 31 days in that month). In such a case, should we consider 30 days as standard working days for calculation, or should we consider 31 days for the calculation? (Gross salary/total days in that month * number of days present) 5000/31*28 = Rs.4516.66, or 5000/30*28 = Rs.4666.66.

Please clarify this for me.

Thanks,
Dhana

If your gross salary is fixed at Rs. 30,000 per month (for example), it does not mean that your daily salary is Rs. 1,000. In such a case, you would receive only Rs. 28,000 in the month of February and Rs. 31,000 in the month of August. However, in practice, this is not the case. Even though February has 28 days and August has 31 days, you still receive Rs. 30,000 as your salary. Therefore, the standard of 30 days is to be considered.

Hope this clarifies things for you.

Supreme Court Ruling on Salary Calculation

As per the Supreme Court of India, in the case of Guru Jambheshwar University through Registrar Vs. Respondent Dharam Pal, the salary calculation under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, including Sections 2, 2A, 10(1), and 25F, as well as the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1987, involving Sections 2, 4, 4(1), 4(2), and 4(3), and the Constitution of India - Articles 14, 16, and 136, and the Payment of Gratuity (Amendment) Act, 1987, states that the monthly wage or salary calculation should be based on 26 days only.

Regards,
Veda Team
VEDA Consultants

The calculation is only for gratuity and not to calculate the monthly salary of the employee. Also, the 26-day salary will be calculated for daily wage workers and not for monthly salaried employees.

@ Bhargavi, you have rightly said the practice, but the 30-day standard is not considered for every month. It is based on the number of days in the month.

Thank you for the information you provided. You mentioned that we should consider only 30 days as standard working days regardless of the month, but Mr. Shenbagarajan has specified that in practice, 30 days as standard working days are not considered. Can you please tell me which is correct - 30 or 31 days?

Thank you,

Dhana

What Veda Consultants said is right. The gross salary should be divided by 26 for calculating per day wages. However, in the case of gratuity, we use to divide it by 30 days in order to control the company's liability.

Example Calculation

For example:
Gross salary: 10,000
Per day Salary = 10,000/26 = 384.61

Even if he has given full attendance, i.e., 27 days of working in August, his salary will be 10,000 + 384.61 because we have to pay for August 15th. But in other cases, if he worked for 27 days, his salary will be 10,000 only. In February, he is supposed to work for 24 days only, but he should be paid the whole salary of 10,000. No queries in that.

I am still unsure as to why there is such a bizarre thought in your mind. When calculating the salary, it should always be kept in mind that 30 days is the count for employees employed as per the Factories Act. In the case of daily wages paid, the weekly offs are not counted. In that meticulous condition, it is therefore considered to be 26 days.

I presume that this clears up your query.

For monthly salaried people, we have to divide the gross salary by 26 days. For weekly waged employees, we will fix their per day salary as per the Minimum Wages Act. So, for them, there is no need to divide. We just have to multiply the number of days they have worked by their per day salary. This is the procedure we are following. We are a manufacturing company employing around 200 employees. We have faced many inspections for IF, PF, and ESI. They also did not criticize this procedure.

Understanding Per Day Salary Calculation

Per day salary will always vary from month to month. For example, if your monthly salary is ₹30,000, then:

- For the month of February: ₹30,000/28, which means the per day salary in February is ₹1,071.
- For the month of March: ₹30,000/30, which means the per day salary in March is ₹1,000.
- For the month of April: ₹30,000/31, which means the per day salary in April is ₹968.

Always keep in mind that the per day salary only comes into play when we have to pay short in that particular month, either in the case of a new join or for Leave Without Pay (LOP).

Regards,

As per your reply, how does the daily salary change every month? You mentioned dividing by 28/29/30/31. If a person does not work on all Sundays, their salary would be less than the fixed amount, right? Could you please clarify this for me?

Thank you.

Hi Suresh, Sunday is a paid holiday. We should not consider it for per-day calculation. This is my experience. Correct me if I am wrong.

Clarification on Paid Holidays and Salary Calculation

Correctly said by Brindha, Sunday or any week off as per the work requirement is a paid holiday. One should not calculate the paydays excluding the week off for monthly payments. Only absences or excess leaves as LOP will be deducted, that too calculating the per day salary for that month.

Regards

I'm not sure what your company follows and what they haven't criticized. All is in one part which avers two ways:

(i) When you say 26 days, employees' 4 days' weekly offs aren't counted for calculation.

(ii) In case of 30 days, the entire month including weekly offs is counted to proportionate maneuver when calculating. Most companies follow a methodical 30-day computation to avoid any hindrances in calculating leaves as well.

For instance, Gross salary/30 days in a month x no. of days present (10000/30*25 = 8333.33). In case of 26 days count (10000/26*25 = 9615.38). The difference is 1486.05. In which way is the accountability of the employer? Please justify!

Regards

Salary Calculation Formula

The following will be the formula used for calculating the salary:

For Monthly Salaried Employees (28, 29, 30, and 31 Days)

Actual Salary = Gross Salary / No. of Days in the Month * No. of Days Worked + Week Offs.

For Salaries Based on Daily Wages

Actual Salary = Gross Salary / 26 * No. of Days Worked.

@ Suresh, it is a paid holiday.

Here, everyone is calculating for full attendance. If you have any LOP (Loss of Pay) or are absent, only then will you know the problem. It is not easy to solve the issue when a worker asks for the same because every rupee matters to him.

Example Calculation

Let us consider an example: If a person's gross salary is Rs. 10,000/-, and he has 1 LOP in August, his salary has to be calculated as follows:
Gross Salary = 10000 / 31 * 30 = 9677.40/-

Not as below for August (as per Bhargavi/Sharmila):
Salary = 10000 / 30 * 29 = 9666.66/-

Understand that every rupee counts for the employee.

For a month, there should be 4 days off per week. Specifically, 4 Sundays will not be considered for the daily salary calculation. Therefore, the gross salary should be divided by 26 days only, not by 30 days.

Kindly provide examples for the following based on your experience:

1. If the monthly salary is $12,000:
- Scenario 1: In September, working for 24 days with 1 day of loss of pay (LOP), what will be the salary?
- Scenario 2: In September, working for 27 days including 3 Sundays and 1 LOP.
- Scenario 3: In September, working for 25 days.

Thank you.

I second Mr. Shenbagarajan. The best solution I found for your query is to use the following link for your monthly salary calculations. Hope you won't have to struggle with what to do.

Clarification on Salary Calculation for Different Employee Types

For staff working on a monthly basis, you can't consider their work on Sundays, so there is no need to pay for that. They are showing their own interest in completing their tasks. For that, you can give compensatory time off on other days.

However, in the case of workers receiving daily wages or on a weekly basis, you can pay for 26 days at the normal rate. That means their daily wage will be 461.53. For Sundays, you have to pay overtime wages, which are double the daily wage.

For Example 1, the pay will be 11,520. For Examples 2 and 3, the pay will be 12,000 in the case of company staff. In Example 2, for workers, the pay will be 14,880.

Therefore, the daily wages will be calculated based on the number of working days in that particular month. Alternatively, you can use the following formula regardless of the month: (Gross Salary * 12) / 309 days = daily wage.

This is what I am following.

As per Indian law, if any candidate joins in the middle of the month, the salary would be calculated based on the number of days worked, not for the entire month. For example, if you join on the 15th and the month has 31 days, your salary would be calculated for 16 days. If you join on the 1st, then your salary would be calculated on a monthly basis, i.e., for 30 days.

Hi Shenbagarajan, different members give different opinions on salary calculation, and I got confused about which is correct. Please kindly clarify for me.

In that Excel, HRA shows 40%, which is not acceptable. Only 20% of the gross is allowed in HRA.

Salary Calculation Method

The salary is calculated as follows:

Actual Salary = Gross Salary / No. of Days in the Month * No. of Days Worked + Week-off

Gross salary = 100,000

- For 28 days, Actual Salary = 100,000 / 28 * 28 = 100,000
- For 30 days, Actual Salary = 100,000 / 30 * 30 = 100,000
- For 31 days, Actual Salary = 100,000 / 31 * 31 = 100,000

Could you please explain how you would calculate the salary for an individual with a gross salary of Rs. 10,000/- who has 2 days of Leave Without Pay (LOP) in each month of February (28 days), March (31 days), and April (30 days)?

Calculation of Monthly and Daily Wages

Monthly wages = Gross Salary / Total Days of Month * Working Days.

Daily wages = Gross Salary / 26 * Working Days.

Dear Shenbagarajan,

You mentioned the following formula:
Actual Salary = Gross Salary / No. of Days in the month * No. of days worked + Week-off

Given that Gross salary = 100,000, the calculations are as follows:
- For 28 days, Actual Salary = 100,000 / 28 * 28 = 100,000
- For 30 days, Actual Salary = 100,000 / 30 * 30 = 100,000
- For 31 days, Actual Salary = 100,000 / 31 * 31 = 100,000

However, what about the Week-off days?
In the scenario where 4 week-off days are included, such as in the month of August where one takes two days off, the calculation would be:
100,000 / 31 * 29 = 93,548.38

Regards,
Dhana

Sundays are always a paid holiday for monthly salaried employees. If you have 2 days of leave (Only LOP), then it will be calculated as follows:

- Gross Salary = 100,000/31 * 29 = 93,548.40/-.
- In February (28 days), it will be calculated as Gross Salary = 100,000/28 * 26 = 92,857.10/-.
- In September (30 days), it will be calculated as Gross Salary = 100,000/30 * 28 = 93,333.30/-.

Moreover, based on this, all statutory payments like ESI/PF will be made. It's important to note that we only deduct the absent/LOP days from the total days in the month. However, for daily wages, the above calculations will not be applicable since the payment is based on the number of days worked.

Thank you.
Regards

You are confusing yourself. Please, for calculating the per-day salary for a month, skip the week offs.

Example 1: In February, there are 25 working days with a gross salary of 10,000. If there are 2 days of leave without pay (LOP), then the earned salary is 9,200.
Calculation: 10,000 / 25 * number of days worked.

Example 2: In March, there are 27 working days. Calculate the salary as 10,000 / 27 * number of days worked.

Example 3: In June, there are 26 working days. Calculate the salary as 10,000 / 26 * number of days worked.

This is what we are following in our company.

Shenbagarajan is trying to explain payroll in general. The others are posting what they are following blindly in their company.

@Sharmila, can you share the Excel sheet for February or March where the month days are not 30? Because in your sheet, it is for April where the calculation is easy. The issue at hand is for the above or below 30 days in a month.

Salary Calculation Method

As per Mr. Shenbagarajan, the formula for calculating the actual salary is:

Actual Salary = (Gross Salary / Number of Days in the Month) * (Number of Days Worked + Week-off).

Which one is correct? Please guide me.

Thanks,

Dhana

Forget about weak offs at the first point. Shenbagarajan's explanation is against only LOP or absences, whatever you consider for your understanding. Only the absent days are to be deducted from the month.

Example Calculation

For example, if there are 2 absences (unpaid leaves) in March for a 10,000 salary employee, the actual paid amount would be calculated as 10,000/31*29. It is as simple as that - clearly deducting 2 absent days from the 31 days of the month.

I hope this Excel sheet will help you. Please review and get back to me. I have not included the PF & ESI deductions. If you simply adjust the LOP, the salary will be calculated automatically.

Thank you.

Hi Santhosh,

Thanks. So, for example, if March Month has 27 working days, the calculation would be 10000/27 * number of days worked.

10000/27 * 27 = 10000
370.37 * 27 = 9999.99 => 10000

Am I right?

Thanks,
Santhosh

I am working in a public motor transport company. We are following a 28/29/30/31-day calculation for scheduled employments, in respect of which the minimum rates of wages have been fixed for public motor transport workers at Rs. 4750 per month. Please advise me on whether our current calculation method is correct or incorrect.

With warm regards,

Calculating salary can be done in two ways:

1. GMS / 30 (irrespective of the actual number of days in the month) × actual number of days payable.
2. GMS / total number of days in the month × number of days payable.

You should follow one formula consistently. It may help to convince others. Normally, all companies use 30 days universally for all months. Auditors also accept this procedure. Otherwise, it may lead to incorrect calculations.

Hi Santhosh, Thanks.

So, for example, if A: March Month: 27 working days. Here, 10000/27 * number of days worked.

10000/27 * 27 = 10000

370.37 * 27 = 9999.99 => 10000

Am I right?

Thanks, Santhosh

No, the per day salary is important when there are LOPs or someone joined in the middle of the month. For that, the formula should be 10000/31 = 323 per day. Based on this, pay for the days or deduct for the days as applicable for the month.

The minimum wage rate of the respective state is calculated only for 26 days, and you cannot apply it for 28/29/30/31 days. If you want, you can show your Basic + DA salary as the minimum wage and consider HRA and other allowances for calculating the gross salary. Attached is the Karnataka Minimum Wages for your reference. Please calculate based on 26 days and not for 28/29/30/31 days.

Thank you.

Hi,

Calculating salary can be done in two ways:

1. GMS / 30 (irrespective of the actual number of days in the month) × actual number of days payable.
2. GMS / total number of days in the month × number of days payable.

You should follow one formula consistently. It may help to convince others. Normally, all companies use 30 days universally for all months. Auditors also accept this procedure; otherwise, it may lead to incorrect calculations.

If an employee joins on the 17th of March with a salary of 10,000/month, how much do you pay? Here, the employee's paydays are 15/31.

No, Dhana,

It depends on the company. Not all companies will follow the same procedure. However, calculating based on the number of days in a month (28, 29, 30, 31) is generally accepted anywhere and is appropriate.

Calculation of Monthly Salary

30 days calculation in all the 12 months in a year is the best practice. For managers and above cadre, no rules will be applicable. As one respected member said, 26 days calculation is the base for all workmen-related settlements. The basic logic behind the 26 days calculation by the government rules is that it covers the paid weekly off.

I have gone through this pitched battle of views on the issue of whether a month shall be construed as 28 days, 30 days, or 31 days. Thanks to Ms. Ghr for kicking off an intense debate on a seemingly simple but truly intriguing issue. No doubt, as a member correctly said, nobody has put forward their views based on assumptions, but only on the practice followed in their respective companies. Nobody has, however, provided any legal basis in support of their views. Following different yardsticks for a month to arrive at a day's wage has its own merits and demerits, especially when wages are to be deducted for absence or loss of pay since every penny, as Mr. Shenbagarajan said, matters to an employee.

For example, the employer will be deducting more wages for loss of pay in February but a lesser amount in April, and even less in May since the calculation of a day's wages varies according to the number of days in a month. This, in my view, may not be a prudent method, particularly as it may create a more anomalous situation in complying with legal requirements like calculating retrenchment compensation.

Legal Framework for Retrenchment Compensation

Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act provides for the calculation of retrenchment compensation at 15 days' wages for each completed year of service. There were divergent methods adopted by employers to calculate the compensation. Some followed 26 days, while others followed 30 days, and yet others followed the number of days in the month in which the employee was retrenched. This gave rise to different figures as compensation. This lack of uniform practice led to industrial disputes on how a month is to be construed for the purpose of arriving at 15 days' wages. Setting to rest the conflicting views on the issue, the Supreme Court in Guru Jambeshwar University through Registrar V. Dharam Pal 2007 I LLJ 1006, has laid down that the compensation has to be calculated on the basis of one month, meaning 30 days but not 26 days. This method can be adopted to bring uniformity and also as a salary for a month is constant and does not vary with the number of days in a month, so also the divider shall be constant for arithmetical accuracy. The formula of 26 days as adopted in the Gratuity Act cannot be made applicable here since the Gratuity Act has specifically prescribed it for calculating gratuity only, being a retiral benefit but not for every kind of benefit.

If 1000 GS as per the number of days in August * Total Paid days, and if GS is 30,000/-, then the per day salary in August is Rs. 967.74 because there are 31 days in the month.

The formula given by everybody is different because everyone practices as per the organization policies. However, there is no clarity in labor laws about the payment of salaries when there is an LOP.

Best Practice for Salary Calculation

The best practice would be to keep a common figure for all the months. This will not only avoid variable calculations for every month, but it will also be easy to explain and maintain. So the best option is that the month is considered as 30 irrespective of the actual number of days in the month.

Clarifying Salary Calculations: Gratuity vs. Monthly Computation

In this thread, people are mixing two distinct points: one-day salary for gratuity calculations and one-day salary for monthly computation. Calculations are different for both. For gratuity calculations, 30 days are taken as standard. However, for monthly salary calculations, the number of days of the month is to be taken, i.e., 28, 29, 30, or 31.

Here is a scenario that should make it clear for the readers: Monthly salary 100,000, number of days in August - 31. Some said it should be taken as 30 days standard. If, for example, an employee has taken 2 days of unpaid leave, should his present days be treated as 28 days or 29 days? Should we deduct the absent days and pay for the present or vice versa?

If we say that he should be paid by present days, which is 100,000 / 30 * 29 = 96,666, and deduction for 2 days would be 100,000 / 30 * 2 = 6,666. Here, the total monthly salary works out to 103,332. It is obvious that the calculations are wrong somewhere.

Whereas if calculated

I've been working in Payroll for more than 4 years now and have worked for different companies in the Payroll department. I'm sure that after my post, there will be a chain of responses saying we calculate it in a different way and many more explanations. However, just above this, there is a post that was explained by myself and other members of the forum.

Difference Between Per Day Salary and Per Day Wage

Per day salary is different from per day wage. Salary should always be calculated based on the number of days for that particular month. Some say 30 days is standard to avoid confusion. It is easy if we know how the calculations are done and can clarify any confusion.

Regards,

Please try to avoid following what you follow because where I am presently working is also following a different format. It is important to adjust to the payroll method the company is following. When calculating per day salary, it should always be based on the number of days, i.e., 28, 29, 30, or 31 for exact payments/deductions.

Please continue to follow your company process but do not force other members to believe that this is the correct method just because you are following it.

I have joined a company on 08.05.2013, and the number of working days in the month of May '13 is 31 days. How much salary should I get?

Regards,
Rangarajan

Guys, please tell me if I am wrong.

In my previous company, the salary was calculated as follows:
Gross Salary Per Month is 25000.
Number of days worked: 20 days.
Gross salary * 12 months of the year / 365 days.
25000 * 12 / 365 = 821.91 per day.
Per day salary * number of days worked.
821.91 * 20 = 16438.36 Salary for the month.

Clarification on Daily Wage Calculation

As per the practice and statutory obligations in various laws, if we need to calculate the daily wage for an employee: Monthly gross salary divided by 26 days equals the daily wage because the weekly off should be paid by the employer.

For monthly wage/salary calculation purposes, managements have to adopt any one standard method, i.e., taking 30 days as uniform for all 12 months in a year. Alternatively, actual days, i.e., 28, 29, 30, or 31 days, as per the particular month.

Please provide further clarification on this topic, members.

Hi All,

Thank you for the information. I discussed this matter with my manager, but he is not ready to agree on this. Could you please provide any kind of valid document that I can show to my senior as proof?

Thanks, Sushmita Paul

The above calculation seems to be wrong. If the Employee is joining on the 13th of August, then the Gross salary will be 19 * 806 = Rs. 15,322/- NOT Rs. 15,314/-. Please correct it.

Sarvesh

Since the days of the month are not equal, I think it would be better if we calculate it like this: 25000 (salary) X 12 (months in a year) / 365 (days in a year) = 822 (salary per day).

Dear All,

Could someone please try to resolve this issue? Let's clear up any misunderstandings regarding the number of days. I kindly request senior members to provide the exact calculation. Please.

Regards,
Bittu (Nagpur)

The standard 30-day practice is followed by most older companies. I think it is a good procedure. The 26-day calculation is used to determine daily wage payments (including payment for weekly offs) as per the law mentioned by our friend VEDA. For the payment of gratuity and other statutory payments, it is necessary to calculate the monthly salary divided by 26 days only. Even the minimum wage rules need to be followed to determine daily wages by dividing by 26 days.

In any case, we need to seek final clarification from fellow experts on this matter.

Regards

Dear Bhargavi, I have gone through your discussion, and I am not satisfied with it. There is a difference in the amount when calculating for 30 days versus 31 days.

Example of Salary Calculation

For example, if it's the 30th day, and Mr. Xyz has a salary of Rs. 10,000 per month, then per day it comes to Rs. 333. If he worked for 29 days with 1 day of Loss of Pay (LOP), the amount would be Rs. 9666 (10,000/30 * 29 days).

On the other hand, if it's the 31st day, then per day it's Rs. 322. Calculating the same 1 day LOP with 30 days worked, the total amount for 30 days would be Rs. 9677 (10,000/31 * 30 days).

Therefore, if we consider a standard calculation of 30 days every month, there is a loss for the employee. This is my point of view, and I need proper clarification on it.

I've gone through the thread discussion, but I've not been able to resolve my issue. I have a staff member who joined on the 5th of February. When counting working days, do I count 28 minus 4 days, or do I count the number of days present, i.e., 6 days a week, which equals 21 days?

In our company, we calculate salary based on the number of days in a month—28, 30, or 31, depending on the specific month.

Salary Calculation Example

Let's say an employee's salary is 30,000 per month, and the salary month is June (30 days), with the employee working without taking any leave for that month (excluding Sundays and public holidays).

The final salary calculation would be: (30,000/30) * No. of working days.

For instance, in June, there are 5 Sundays and 1 public holiday. The question arises: Should we include Sundays and other public holidays in the "No. of working days," or exclude them from the total number of days (30 days)?

So, is the No. of working days equal to 30, or should it be 24?

Final Salary Calculation Options

- (30,000/30) * 30
- (30,000/30) * 24

Could you please clarify this matter?

Thanks in advance 

Why is there confusion here? Please follow standard practice.

Fixed gross salary:

For January, March, May, July, August, October, and December (100,000 x 31 = 3,225.806452) * Number of payable days.

For April, June, September, and November (100,000 x 30 = 3,333.333) * Number of payable days.

For February (100,000 x 29 = 3,448.275862) * Number of payable days or (100,000 x 28 = 3,571.428571) * Number of payable days.

Now, the per-day amount is calculated, and it should be multiplied by the number of payable days.

Thanks
