Hi, as I am new to the HR Generalist role, I would like to know the salary breakdown or salary calculation of an employee in the organization. What is the standard percentage to calculate the basic, PF, HRA, LOP, etc., mentioned in the payslips? I would be thankful to receive the proper information regarding the above-mentioned query.

We are a manufacturing company in Tamil Nadu employing about 40 people in total, out of which 20 are workmen. Below, I am outlining how we have broken down the salary for workmen. I am not sure if this is entirely accurate. I hope this breakdown helps, and I believe that experts on this site can provide better advice.

Example Salary Breakdown

For example:
- GROSS = 10500
- Basic = 50% * 10500 = 5250
- DA = 20% * 10500 = 2100
- HRA = 10500 - 5250 - 2100 = 3150
- LOP for 1 day absent = 10500 / 26 = 403.84

Thank you.

Hi, nowadays in Tamil Nadu, the PF enforcing officer is mandating every company to split the wages in the following manner. Our company has also started following this method. Anything less than 60% of the basic from gross will land you in trouble.

- Basic: 60%
- HRA: 20%
- Other Allowances: 20%
- Total Gross: 100%

Dear Bhavya, Breakup varies from organization to organizations. Generally Basic=(30%-40% of CTC) ; HRA=(40%-60% of Baisc) ; PF is 12% of Basic monthly salary. LOP depends on policy what you have got.

It all depends on what salary and other perks are applicable. Generally, there are only two fractions: basic at 60% of total emoluments and the balance at 40% if there are no D.A. (Dearness Allowance) or V.D.A. (Variable Dearness Allowance). Out of the remaining 40%, divide it as 40% H.R.A. (House Rent Allowance). The rest is calculated for conveyance allowance, children's education allowance, newspaper & magazine allowance, etc. Tax liability will also be taken care of.

Thank you.
