Business Trip Salary Calculator
Explanation
How to calculate your total salary for a business trip?
The total salary for a business trip can be calculated using the following formula:
Total Salary (TS):
§§ TS = Base Salary + (Daily Allowance × Number of Days) + Transport Costs + Accommodation Costs §§
where:
- § TS § — total salary for the business trip
- § Base Salary § — your regular salary
- § Daily Allowance § — the amount you receive for each day of the trip
- § Number of Days § — the total number of days spent on the trip
- § Transport Costs § — expenses incurred for transportation
- § Accommodation Costs § — expenses incurred for lodging
Example:
- Base Salary: $3000
- Daily Allowance: $50
- Number of Days: 5
- Transport Costs: $100
- Accommodation Costs: $200
Total Salary Calculation:
§§ TS = 3000 + (50 × 5) + 100 + 200 = 3000 + 250 + 100 + 200 = 3550 §$
How to calculate your net salary after tax?
To find out your net salary after tax, you can use the following formula:
Net Salary (NS):
§§ NS = TS × (1 - Tax Rate) §§
where:
- § NS § — net salary after tax
- § TS § — total salary calculated previously
- § Tax Rate § — the percentage of tax applied to your total salary
Example:
If the tax rate is 20%:
Net Salary Calculation:
§§ NS = 3550 × (1 - 0.20) = 3550 × 0.80 = 2840 §$
