Understanding the Labour Codes Impact

The new Labour Codes fundamentally reshape wage calculations and statutory obligations. The most critical change—the "50% Rule"—requires that basic pay be at least 50% of total Cost to Company (CTC).

Real Example: A security supervisor earning ₹30,000/month with 30% basic pay sees employer statutory costs increase by ₹1,008/month (+66%). For 100 such supervisors, that's ₹12.1 lakhs additional annual cost.

This calculator ensures you account for this impact accurately when pricing contracts and bidding for new business.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are the state minimum wages determined?

The calculator pulls the latest government-notified minimum wages for each state. These are updated regularly. If your state hasn't notified rates yet, the calculator will use the last published rates.

What does the 50% Rule mean?

Under the Code on Wages 2019, if exclusions (HRA, conveyance, special allowance, etc.) exceed 50% of total remuneration, the excess amount is automatically added to the wage base for calculating PF, gratuity, and bonus. This effectively forces basic pay to be at least 50% of total CTC.

Can I use this for Fixed-Term Employment (FTE)?

Yes! Set your contract duration in months, and the calculator automatically computes pro-rata gratuity eligibility. Workers completing 1 year get gratuity payout at contract end, calculated as: (Last Drawn Wages × 15/26) × Completed Years.

Do I need to purchase a subscription?
