About SalaryGrid
SalaryGrid is India's premier independent platform for salary calculation, career planning, and financial decision-making. We build transparent, privacy-first, and deterministic web tools that help job seekers and professionals understand their true worth.
Who is SalaryGrid?
Founded with a commitment to financial transparency, SalaryGrid is an engineering-led platform that simplifies Indian compensation structures. We eliminate guesswork by turning complex labor statutes, income tax slabs, and banking formulas into intuitive, lightning-fast calculators.
Whether you are evaluating a ₹15 LPA job offer, calculating your gratuity payout after 7 years of service, or formatting an ATS-compliant resume, SalaryGrid gives you verified answers in seconds.
Why We Built SalaryGrid
In India, the gap between a candidate's offered Cost-to-Company (CTC) and their actual monthly take-home salary is notoriously wide. Hidden gratuity allocations, employer EPF splits, professional taxes, and shifting tax regimes leave many employees confused about their actual cash in hand.
Furthermore, most online tools require intrusive phone logins, capture personal data to spam users with loans, or hide behind paywalls. We built SalaryGrid to be the antithesis of that: clean, ad-light, free, and completely respectful of user privacy.
Our Calculation Methodology & Regulatory Compliance
Every calculation on SalaryGrid is governed by deterministic mathematical models built directly on official statutory provisions, government circulars, and banking standards in India:
Updated for FY 2026-27 (AY 2027-28) with New vs Old Tax Regimes, Section 87A full tax rebates up to ₹7 Lakhs, Section 87A marginal relief, and the ₹75,000 standard deduction.
Strict 12% employee contribution, employer split (3.67% EPF + 8.33% EPS capped at ₹1,250), ₹15,000 wage ceiling rules, and the official 8.25% EPFO rate.
Statutory (15 × Basic × Years) ÷ 26 formula, 5-year continuous service threshold, 6-month rounding rules, and the ₹20 Lakh tax-free ceiling.
Reducing-balance loan amortisation schedules for Home/Personal loans and standard periodic compound interest equations for mutual fund SIP projections.
Our Privacy-by-Design Philosophy
We believe your financial data belongs exclusively to you. All calculations and resume formatting operations run entirely inside your web browser (client-side execution).
- No Account Required: You never need to enter an email address or mobile number to calculate your salary or download a resume.
- Zero Server Logging: We do not capture, record, or sell your compensation details, loan inquiries, or career documents.
- Local Browser Persistence: Progress in our tools auto-saves safely in your local browser storage for your personal convenience.
How We Handle Updates & Editorial Review
Tax laws, provident fund interest rates, and employment guidelines evolve continually. Our editorial and technical team maintains a strict update workflow:
- Budget & Gazette Monitoring: We track Union Budget announcements, CBDT circulars, EPFO gazette notifications, and RBI monetary policy shifts.
- Automated Test Verifications: Every calculation engine is backed by automated test suites validating edge cases (Section 87A marginal relief, surcharge caps, EPF ceiling rules) against official government tax slabs.
- Transparent Methodology: Our complete calculation logic and statutory citations are publicly documented in our Calculation Methodology.
- Peer Review: Content and tools undergo thorough editorial review before publication to guarantee precision, independence, and clarity.
