Introduction
Your salary slip contains multiple components. A salary calculator breaks down your gross salary into take-home pay by accounting for all deductions mandated by the Nepal government.
Salary Components
- Basic Salary — typically 50-60% of gross salary
- Allowances — house rent, dearness, festival, etc.
- SSF (Social Security Fund) — 11% of basic salary (employee share; the employer separately contributes 20% of basic salary under current SSF rules — confirm current rates at ssf.gov.np)
- Income Tax — based on Nepal tax slabs (see current slabs and the IRD at ird.gov.np)
Deductions
Major deductions include the SSF employee-share contribution (11% of basic salary — distinct from the employer's separate 20% share), income tax based on annual income brackets per current IRD slabs, and any loan EMIs. Our Salary Calculator handles all these automatically.
