How do you calculate salary per day in India?

Divide monthly salary by working days in the month. The statutory method uses 26 days. Some firms use 30 days. Example: ₹30,000 ÷ 26 = ₹1,153.85 per day.

Why do payroll teams use 26 days?

Indian labour formulas — including gratuity (15/26) — treat a working month as 26 days. That produces a higher per-day rate than dividing by 30.

How do I get an hourly rate from monthly salary?

First find the per-day rate, then divide by working hours. Example: ₹1,153.85 ÷ 8 hours ≈ ₹144.23 per hour.

Does TiBook Payroll use this rate automatically?

TiBook generates monthly payroll from attendance and salary setup. This public calculator is for one-off estimates. It does not replace a payroll run or PF filing.
