What is not included
EOBI and provident fund come out of take-home pay too, if they apply. EOBI is 1% of the minimum wage, not of your Rs 400,000 salary. Provident fund depends on your basic salary and your scheme’s rate. Add both in the salary calculator. These figures assume salary is your only income, paid at the same amount for all 12 months.
