Hi all,

I want to know how to calculate salary breakups like Basic, HRA, EA, etc., from the take-home salary of a candidate (not from the CTC of a person). For example, if a candidate's take-home salary has been fixed at Rs. 10,000 per month, how do I frame the salary breakup from that?

Salary breakup is a critical part of compensation management. My suggestion is that whatever is agreed upon by the management to be paid to an employee should have the following components:

- Basic salary: minimum 50%
- HRA: 40% to 50% of Basic salary
- Conveyance Allowance: Amount exempt from Income tax for attending daily duty.

The balance amount can be given any terminology depending upon the location, as some amounts are non-taxable in certain areas. It is important to note that the minimum wages prescribed by the state government should not be further bifurcated to avoid EPF and ESI contributions, as these are need-based wages.

Plan your structure accordingly.
