How this works

What goes into basic pay?

The statutory amount is one twelfth of total basic salary earned in the calendar year. The default is for rank and file employees in the private sector who have worked at least one month during the year.

Overtime, night differential, holiday pay, unused leave credits, and allowances generally stay outside basic salary unless an agreement or company practice treats them as part of it. Enter only the amount that counts as basic salary in your payroll records.

A mid month start, unpaid leave, or change in pay can change the amount earned. Enter the actual basic pay for those months; this calculator does not guess a daily proration rule.
