Worked example
₹20,000 wages: employee ₹150, employer ₹650, total ₹800. ₹21,001 is not covered here. A CTC-to-take-home estimate should add this employee slice next to EPF and professional tax — it is not inside the ₹97,500 new-regime tax on a ₹15 lakh salary.
Frequently asked questions
- What are the ESI rates?
- Employee 0.75% and employer 3.25% of monthly wages, when the employee is covered.
- What is the wage ceiling?
- Coverage typically stops when monthly wages exceed ₹21,000. This page returns zero above that line.
- Is ESI the same as EPF?
- No. EPF is 12% / 12% with an EPS split on a ₹15,000 wage cap. Use the EPF monthly contribution calculator for that.
- Which wages count?
- ESIC definitions can include basic, DA, and some allowances. Confirm with your payroll circular — this page uses the wage figure you type.
