1. What is the 8th Pay Commission Salary Calculator?

This calculator helps estimate net salary for employees in Sri Lanka based on the 8th Pay Commission structure. It calculates take-home pay after accounting for standard deductions like EPF, ETF, and income tax.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ \text{Net Salary} = \text{Basic Pay} + \text{Allowances} - (\text{EPF} + \text{ETF} + \text{Tax}) \]

Where:

Basic Pay — The fundamental salary component
Allowances — Additional payments like housing, transport, etc.
EPF — Employee Provident Fund contribution (typically 8% of basic pay)
ETF — Employee Trust Fund contribution (typically 3% of basic pay)
Tax — Income tax based on taxable income (basic pay + allowances)
