Hi Bhavna,
ESI is contributed from both sides, by the Employee as well as the Employer. It is calculated based on the Gross salary per month, and the maximum ceiling is 10,000 Rs./Month. The contributions from both sides are as follows:
Employee Side - 1.75% of gross/month
So, if the gross salary of an employee is 8,000/month, then the ESI contribution would be 8,000 * 1.75% = 140 Rupees.
Employer Side - 4.75% of gross/month
The ESI contribution would be 8,000 * 4.75% = 380 Rupees.
I hope this information helps you understand the process.

Hi Amit,
Just want to clarify, is this amount payable, or is it just to avail medical benefits? I could see our organization pays employees 2400 per annum as an additional allowance in the form of ESI.

Hi Amit,
I just wanted to clarify one thing: is ESI calculated based on the Gross or Total Earnings of an Employee? As per my understanding, if an employee's earnings exceed 10,000 during a half-year term, they should still be covered until that specific period ends. Please correct me if I am mistaken.
I appreciate your assistance and would like to stay in touch with you as your guidance has been invaluable on my first day on this site.

Hi Amit,
ESI is calculated based on the gross salary per month. Regarding the second part, I'm not entirely sure, but in my opinion, you are somewhat correct; he remains covered under the Act until the benefit period ends.
Thank you so much; you are always welcome.

Hi All,
What Amit says is valid. An employee will remain covered for the deduction until the end of the six-monthly contribution period. You can even check the corresponding benefit period for the ESI benefits for employees.

Hi!
ESI is calculated on Basic + D.A. + All Allowances (e.g., HRA, Conv, O.T., etc.) + any other kind of earnings = Gross Amt. It is divided into two shares: 1.75% for the employee share and 4.75% for the employer share, totaling 6.5%.
All employees whose Gross Salary is 10,000 or less have to contribute towards ESI as 10,000 is the ceiling for ESI from 1st October 2006.
When you calculate it, if an amount comes in decimals, you have to round it off to the next rupee, e.g., if it is Rs 45.3, it will be taken as Rs 46.

Dear All,
It is very clear in the ESIC rules that if any employee's gross wages cross the ceiling limit of ESIC during the contribution period (i.e., April to September OR October to March), you have to continue his contribution until the end of the contribution period. He will also be entitled to benefits as per the rules for the next 9 months even if his contribution is discontinued.

Hi Lavleen,
I feel your question is not clear. Are you trying to know the total contribution after 5 years, or do you want to know what will be the PF amount deductible after 5 years? I think if you can reframe your question, you will get the required answer from anyone in the group, and it will be useful for others as well.

Hi HR People,
Can you please provide me some clarification regarding the annual submission of ESI written. If we fail to give a temporary ESI card to the new joiner, what will be the implication to the employer? What will be the use of a temporary ESI card?

(Fact Checked)-The ESI card is mandatory for employees covered under the ESI Act. Employers failing to provide it can face penalties. Temporary ESI cards are for immediate health coverage. (1 Acknowledge point)

PF is calculated as follows:
Basic salary - 4000
PF deduction Employee Side for one month - 4000 * 12 / 100 = 480
PF deduction Employer Side for one month - 4000 * 3.67% = 146.8
Yearly - 480 * 12 (from the employee side) = 5760
Yearly - 146.8 * 12 (from the employee side) = 1761.6
Total Contribution = 5760 + 1761.6 = 7521.6
For 5 years - 7521 * 5 + 9.5% (compound interest of 5 years) =

From 1.5.2010, ESIC is calculated up to a limit of 15,000. ESI is contributed from both sides, by the employee as well as the employer. It is calculated based on the gross salary per month, and the maximum ceiling is 10,000 Rs./Month. The contribution from both sides is as follows:
Employee Side
- 1.75% of gross/month. So, if the gross of an employee is 8,000/month, then the ESI contribution would be 8,000 * 1.75% = 140 Rupees.
Employer Side
- 4.75% of gross/month. The ESI contribution would be 8,000 * 4.75% = 380 Rupees.
I hope this information helps you understand the calculation.
