Salary Calculation for February and March

1a) If the join date is February 5, the attendance will be 24 days, i.e., from the 5th to the 28th, except for the first 4 days (1st to 4th). Salary for 24 days = 9000 x 24/28 = 7714.29.

1b) If the join date is February 27, the attendance will be 2 days, i.e., the 27th & 28th. Salary for 2 days = 9000 x 2/28 = 642.86.

2a) If the join date is March 5, the attendance will be 27 days, i.e., from the 5th to the 31st, except for the first 4 days (1st to 4th). Salary for 27 days = 9000 x 27/31 = 7838.71.

2b) If the join date is March 31, the attendance will be 1 day, i.e., 31st March only. Salary for 1 day = 9000/31 = 290.32.

Usually, companies calculate per day salary based on 30 days for all months in the year. Therefore, it will be calculated as: (total salary/30) * number of days worked in that month.

Make it clear. In seven months, namely January, March, May, July, August, October, and December, there are 31 days. If an employee has an attendance of 30 days and one day of LWOP, will he get the full salary.

If you joined on 5th February, then your salary will be 9000*24/28 = 7714.00.

If you joined on 27th February, then your salary will be 9000*2/28 = 643.00.

If you joined on 5th March, then your salary will be 9000*28/31 = 8129.00.

If you joined on 31st March, then your salary will be 9000*1/31 = 290.00.

Salary Calculation Based on Joining Date

If there is no LWOP, then:

- Your salary if you joined on 5th February: (9000 x 24) / 28 = Rs. 7714.28 (assuming February has a 28-day month).
- Your salary if you joined on 27th February: (9000 x 2) / 28 = Rs. 642.85 (assuming February has a 28-day month).
- Your salary if you joined on 5th March: (9000 x 27) / 31 = Rs. 7838.70.
- Your salary if you joined on 31st March: (9000 x 1) / 31 = Rs. 290.30.

Salary Calculation with LWOP

If there are some LWOP, then:

- Your salary if you joined on 5th February: (9000 x 24 - LWOP) / 28 (assuming February has a 28-day month).
- Your salary if you joined on 27th February: (9000 x 2 - LWOP) / 28 (assuming February has a 28-day month).
- Your salary if you joined on 5th March: (9000 x 27 - LWOP) / 31.
