EPF & ESIC Calculator — Employee and Employer Contribution — FAQs

Is PF calculated on basic or gross salary?▾
On PF wages — basic pay plus dearness allowance (and retaining allowance). HRA, bonus and overtime are excluded. ESIC, by contrast, is calculated on gross wages.
What is the ₹15,000 PF wage ceiling?▾
PF is mandatory on wages up to ₹15,000 a month. Employers may contribute only on ₹15,000 (₹1,800 each) or on the full basic. The EPS pension portion is always limited to 8.33% of ₹15,000, i.e. ₹1,250 a month.
Who has to pay ESIC?▾
Employees whose gross wages are ₹21,000 a month or less (₹25,000 for persons with disability), in establishments covered by the ESI Act. The employee pays 0.75% and the employer 3.25%.
When is the PF and ESIC deadline?▾
Both are due by the 15th of the following month. Late PF payments attract interest at 12% a year and damages; late ESIC attracts 12% simple interest.
