About Prorated Salary Calculator — Partial Month Pay
Partial-month pay has no single law — it has a divisor policy, and the divisor changes your money. Calendar-day proration (salary ÷ actual days × payable days) is the most common in Indian payroll; the 26-day method (salary ÷ 26, born from the Minimum Wages convention that excludes weekly offs) produces a HIGHER per-day rate and is standard for wage workers and many factories. Joining on the 13th at ₹50,000: calendar gives ₹30,000 for 18 payable days; the 26-day method gives ₹34,615. 'Payable days' is the input people get wrong: it is not days you showed up — it includes weekly offs and paid holidays falling within your employment period, paid leave taken, and excludes only loss-of-pay days. An exit on the 10th typically pays you for the 1st–10th INCLUDING the weekend inside it. Most payslip proration disputes dissolve once payable days are counted correctly. Watch what the proration touches: usually all fixed cash components (basic, HRA, allowances) scale together, while deductions follow their own rules — PF computes on prorated wages, ESI on actual gross, professional tax on the slab the reduced gross lands in (a heavy-LOP month can drop you a PT slab). February is the annual gotcha: a calendar-basis per-day rate is the year's highest (÷28), which cuts both ways depending on whether you're joining or taking LOP.

Frequently asked questions
Mera 1 din ka LOP salary ÷ 30 se zyada kata — galat hai kya?+
Zaroori nahi — company 26-day divisor use karti hogi: ₹50,000 ÷ 26 = ₹1,923/day vs ÷30 = ₹1,667. LOP par 26-divisor employee ke against jaata hai, joining/exit proration me favour me. Policy ka ek hi divisor dono jagah lagna chahiye — wahi asli fairness check hai. HR policy document me 'salary computation basis' section dekhiye; ek hi mahine me do alag divisor dikhe to legitimately poochhiye.
Joining month me weekend ka paisa milta hai?+
Haan, jo weekend aapke joining ke BAAD aata hai woh payable hai — 13 ko join kiya to 13 se mahine ke ant tak ke saare din (Sundays samet) ginte hain, calendar basis par. Isi symmetry se exit me bhi last working day tak ke offs milte hain. 'Maine 15 din kaam kiya' aur '18 payable days' ka antar yahi hota hai — payslip ke days column ko isi nazar se padhiye.
Prorated month me PF, ESI, PT kaise lagta hai?+
Teeno apne-apne base par: PF prorated wages ke 12% par (EPF wage ceiling ₹15,000 tak ke statutory members ke liye us cap par); ESI actual gross par 0.75%; PT us mahine ke gross ke SLAB par — heavy LOP me gross ghata to PT slab bhi gir sakta hai (Maharashtra me ₹10,000 se neeche aaya to ₹200 ki jagah ₹175/0). Tax-TDS annualized chalta hai, isliye ek prorated month TDS me bada jhatka nahi laata.
Notice period buyout bhi isi rate se hota hai?+
Aksar haan — shortfall days × per-day rate, aur yahan divisor ka khel sabse mehenga hota hai: 26-divisor par 10 din ka buyout ₹19,230 banta hai vs calendar ₹16,667. Kai companies buyout GROSS par aur final-settlement proration BASIC par karti hain — appointment letter ki exact wording padhiye. Buyout amount par tax treatment bhi dekhiye: recovery hai to salary se set-off, payment hai to taxable.
