How to Calculate Your Salary with Various Allowances

This salary calculator allows you to compute your total and net salary by considering different types of allowances and applicable taxes. The formula used in this calculator is straightforward and can be broken down into several steps.

1. Calculate Total Allowances:

The total allowances are calculated based on the base salary and the percentage of various allowances. The formula is:

§§ \text{Total Allowances} = \text{Base Salary} \times \left( \text{Hazard Allowance} + \text{Overtime Allowance} + \text{Night Shift Allowance} + \text{Experience Allowance} \right) §§

where:

  • Base Salary is your initial salary before any allowances.
  • Hazard Allowance, Overtime Allowance, Night Shift Allowance, and Experience Allowance are expressed as percentages (e.g., 10% as 0.10).

2. Calculate Total Salary:

Once you have the total allowances, you can calculate the total salary:

§§ \text{Total Salary} = \text{Base Salary} + \text{Total Allowances} §§

3. Calculate Net Salary:

Finally, to find your net salary after taxes, use the following formula:

§§ \text{Net Salary} = \text{Total Salary} \times (1 - \text{Taxes}) §§

where:

  • Taxes is the tax percentage expressed as a decimal (e.g., 20% as 0.20).

Example Calculation

Let’s say your base salary is $3000, and you have the following allowances and taxes:

  • Hazard Allowance: 10%
  • Overtime Allowance: 5%
  • Night Shift Allowance: 15%
  • Experience Allowance: 3%
  • Taxes: 20%

Step 1: Calculate Total Allowances

§§ \text{Total Allowances} = 3000 \times (0.10 + 0.05 + 0.15 + 0.03) = 3000 \times 0.33 = 990 §§

Step 2: Calculate Total Salary

§§ \text{Total Salary} = 3000 + 990 = 3990 §§

Step 3: Calculate Net Salary

§§ \text{Net Salary} = 3990 \times (1 - 0.20) = 3990 \times 0.80 = 3192 §§

Thus, your net salary would be $3192.
