Fill in employee details and salary components to produce a printable monthly payslip document, with EPF, ESI, professional tax and TDS worked out for tax year 2026-27.
This generator builds a monthly payslip. Earnings (Basic, HRA, allowances, bonus) add up to gross pay. Deductions are employee EPF (12% of Basic, on wages up to the ₹25,000 ceiling), ESI (0.75% if gross is ₹21,000 or less), state professional tax and estimated TDS. Net pay = gross pay minus total deductions, shown in figures and words.
A sample payslip (₹50,000 gross, Karnataka, new regime) is shown below. Change the details and press Generate to make your own.
A salary slip (also called a payslip or pay stub) is an official document issued by an employer each month. It shows the breakdown of earnings and deductions for that pay period. In India, issuing a wage slip is a legal duty under Section 50(3) of the Code on Wages, 2019, in force since 21 November 2025, and it is essential for tax filing, loan applications, visa processing and background verification.
Every salary slip in India has three sections: employee and employer information, earnings (gross pay) and deductions. The difference between gross and total deductions gives the net pay (take-home).
| Section | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| Header | Company name, employee name, ID, designation, department, PAN, PF number, pay month |
| Earnings | Basic Salary, HRA, allowances (Conveyance, Medical, Special), Bonus or Incentive |
| Deductions | EPF (employee share), ESI (if applicable), Professional Tax, TDS, any loan or advance recovery |
| Summary | Gross Pay, Total Deductions, Net (take-home) Pay in words and figures |
Basic Salary is the core of your compensation and the base on which EPF, gratuity and HRA are calculated. Under the Code on Wages, 2019, basic plus dearness allowance together must constitute at least 50% of total remuneration. This generator defaults basic to 50% of gross to keep you compliant.
HRA (House Rent Allowance) helps cover rental expenses. In metro cities, HRA is typically 50% of basic (for the tax exemption, the 50% list covers Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Ahmedabad from tax year 2026-27); in non-metro cities it is 40% of basic. Actual HRA received is shown on the slip; how much is tax-exempt depends on rent paid and the city.
Special Allowance is a residual component: whatever is left after basic and HRA are set. It is fully taxable.
| Deduction | Rate | Eligibility |
|---|---|---|
| EPF (Employee) | 12% of Basic; on the statutory ceiling it is Rs 3,000 (12% of Rs 25,000) | All employees in covered establishments |
| ESI (Employee) | 0.75% of Gross Wages | Employees with Gross up to Rs 21,000/month |
| Professional Tax | State-specific, up to Rs 2,500/year | Employees in applicable states only |
| TDS on Salary | As per income tax slabs, projected annually then divided by 12 | All salaried employees with taxable income |
EPF wage ceiling: the statutory wage ceiling was raised from Rs 15,000 to Rs 25,000 a month with effect from 17 September 2026 (the first change since September 2014). If Basic is Rs 30,000 and the employer restricts PF to the ceiling, the EPF deduction is Rs 3,000 (12% of Rs 25,000), not Rs 3,600. Employers may also deduct on full Basic. This generator uses the ceiling, so enter an override in Other Deductions if your employer deducts more.

Standard deduction: Rs 75,000 (Section 19 of the Income-tax Act, 2025, earlier Section 16(ia)). Rebate under Section 156 (earlier Section 87A): if net taxable income is up to Rs 12,00,000 the full tax liability is rebated (nil net tax), with marginal relief just above that. From 1 April 2026, TDS on salary is governed by Section 392 of the Income-tax Act, 2025, replacing Section 192 of the 1961 Act.
