Frequently Asked Questions

How is salary per day calculated? +

Divide your monthly gross salary by the days in your company basis: 30, 26, the days in that month, or working days. For Rs 40,000 on a 30-day basis, it is Rs 1,333 a day.

What is LOP in salary? +

LOP means loss of pay. It is the salary cut for days you were absent without any paid leave left.

How is LOP calculated? +

LOP deduction = monthly gross salary ÷ days in the basis × LOP days. On Rs 40,000 with 2 LOP days on a 30-day basis, the cut is Rs 2,667.

Is salary per day calculated on 26 or 30 days? +

Both are used. Most companies use 30 days or the actual days in the month. A 26-day basis leaves out Sundays and gives a higher per-day figure.

Is LOP calculated on gross or basic? +

Usually on gross salary, because every fixed part of the salary is cut for the days you did not work. Check your offer letter or policy.

Are weekends counted in LOP? +

If the LOP days are on both sides of a weekend or holiday, many companies count the weekend as LOP too. This is called the sandwich rule. Check your leave policy.

How is a half-day LOP calculated? +

A half day is 0.5 days, so it costs half of your salary per day.

How is salary calculated for the joining month? +

Salary per day × the days from your joining date to the end of the month. The tool does this in the "Joining or last month" tab.

Does LOP reduce PF? +

Yes. PF is 12% of the Basic + DA you are actually paid, so LOP days lower it.

LOP kaise calculate hota hai? +

Monthly gross salary ko 30 (ya company ke basis) se bhaag do, phir LOP ke din se guna karo. Wo amount salary se katega.
