How to use the Daily Salary Calculator
- Enter your monthly salary.
- Pick the day basis used by your employer.
- Optionally enter the days you were paid for to see the LOP deduction.
Formula
Per day = Monthly salary ÷ Day basis
Pay = Per day × Days paid
LOP deduction = Monthly salary − Pay
Which day basis is right?
- 30 days: a simple, common convention for monthly-paid staff.
- Actual days in the month (28–31): the per-day rate changes month to month.
- 26 working days: common in factories and for calculating wages of workers with weekly offs.
Worked example
₹30,000 salary, 30-day basis, 27 days paid
- Per day = 30,000 ÷ 30 = ₹1,000
- Pay = 1,000 × 27
₹27,000 pay, ₹3,000 loss of pay
Frequently asked questions
Are weekends counted for per-day salary?
On a 30-day or actual-days basis, yes — the monthly salary covers every calendar day. On a 26-day basis only working days count.
What is LOP?
Loss of pay: days of absence without paid leave, for which salary is deducted at the per-day rate.
