Systems annualize expected earnings, subtract eligible deductions, apply slabs, cess, and surcharge if applicable, then distribute TDS across remaining months. Encourage employees to share life changes promptly for smoother recalculations.

Earnings, Allowances, and Perquisites

Software calculates HRA exemption by applying conditions around metro status, eligible salary definition, actual HRA received, and rent paid over a threshold. Invite your team to submit rent proofs early and subscribe for our HRA checklist.

Payroll integrates NPS employee contributions, optional extra deductions, and employer contributions where applicable. Invite colleagues to model scenarios in your portal and share feedback if calculators need additional clarity or features.

When arrears are paid, software can assist in computing relief based on past year slabs and income. Encourage employees to request illustrative reports, and comment if you want our arrears communication toolkit.
