How It Works
The Provident Fund (PF) deduction on your salary slip is one of the largest monthly deductions for most salaried employees, yet few understand exactly how it is calculated or what their employer is contributing on their behalf.
The standard EPF contribution is 12% of your basic salary plus Dearness Allowance (DA). Your employer matches this with another 12%, though the employer's contribution is split: 8.33% goes to the Employee Pension Scheme (EPS) and only 3.67% goes into your actual EPF account. This means your retirement corpus grows faster than just your own deduction.
Upload your salary slip to see your exact basic salary, your 12% contribution, your employer's split contribution, and the resulting monthly addition to your EPF balance — all extracted directly from your payslip.
Example: PF deduction on ₹25,000 basic pay
- •Employee PF contribution (12% of basic): ₹3,000
- •Employer PF contribution (12% of basic, split between EPF and EPS): ₹3,000
- •Take-home impact: ₹3,000 deducted monthly, visible on payslip as "PF" or "EPF"
- •Upload your salary slip above to see your exact PF contribution and employer match, calculated instantly — nothing leaves your browser.
