Leave Salary Calculator – Calculate Per Day Salary & Leave Deduction

The Leave Salary Calculator by PlanMyReturns helps you calculate how much salary is deducted when you take unpaid leaves and what your actual net payout will be for the month.

This calculator is useful for salaried employees who want clear answers to questions like:

• How much is my per day salary?
• How much will be deducted for unpaid leave?
• How does basic salary percentage affect leave deduction?
• What will be my final payout after leave deduction?

What Is Leave Salary Deduction?

Leave salary deduction refers to the reduction in monthly salary when an employee takes unpaid leave (LOP).
Most companies calculate leave deduction based on:

• Monthly salary or CTC
• Number of working days in the month
• Number of unpaid leave days
• Basic salary component (not full CTC)

Because companies follow different salary structures, deductions can vary even for the same CTC.

What This Leave Salary Calculator Does

This calculator shows you, in seconds:

• Monthly basic salary based on your selected percentage
• Per day salary (basic based)
• Leave deduction amount
• Net payout after deduction
• Daily CTC rate
• Clear salary breakup with calculations
• Visual chart showing net pay vs deduction

It works for both standard and custom salary structures.

Inputs Used in This Calculator (Aligned With Payroll Logic)

1. Total Monthly CTC

Your gross monthly salary including all components.

2. Working Days Per Month

Typically ranges between 22 to 26 days, depending on company policy.

3. Leave Days to Deduct

Number of unpaid leave days (LOP) taken in the month.

4. Basic Salary Percentage

Choose how much of your CTC is considered basic salary:

• 40%
• 50% (most common)
• 60%
• Custom percentage

Most companies calculate leave deduction on basic salary, not total CTC.

How Leave Deduction Is Calculated

Step 1: Calculate Basic Salary

Basic Salary = Monthly CTC × Basic %

Step 2: Calculate Per Day Salary

Per Day Salary = Basic Salary ÷ Working Days

Step 3: Calculate Leave Deduction

Leave Deduction = Per Day Salary × Unpaid Leave Days

Step 4: Calculate Net Payout

Net Payout = Monthly CTC − Leave Deduction

The calculator applies this logic automatically and shows every step clearly.

Example

Suppose an employee has:

• Monthly CTC: ₹50,000
• Working days: 26
• Unpaid leaves: 2 days
• Basic salary: 50%

Calculation:

• Basic salary = ₹25,000
• Per day salary = ₹25,000 ÷ 26 ≈ ₹961
• Leave deduction = ₹961 × 2 ≈ ₹1,922
• Net payout ≈ ₹48,078

The calculator displays this instantly with a visual breakdown.

Why Basic Salary Percentage Matters

Two employees with the same CTC can have different leave deductions because:

• One company uses 40% basic
• Another uses 50% or 60% basic

Higher basic salary means:

• Higher per day rate
• Higher leave deduction

This calculator lets you compare scenarios instantly.
