Example 1 · LOP
₹30,000 salary, 2.5 unpaid days
On a fixed 30-day basis, the rate is ₹1,000 per day. LOP deduction is ₹2,500, so estimated salary before OT is ₹27,500.

Why Kavit built this
One employee is easy. Twenty employees every month is the real problem.
A calculator can help you check one salary. But if you are manually counting attendance, half-days, leave and LOP for every employee each month, the calculation itself is not the biggest problem — the workflow is.

Salary calculation guide
How to calculate salary from attendance
For a monthly-paid employee, the arithmetic usually starts with the salary amount that your organisation prorates and the divisor used to determine a per-day rate.
Per-day salary = monthly salary ÷ salary divisor
Once the daily rate is known, the organisation can apply its policy to unpaid absence or to the payable units in a joining, leaving or part-month situation.
LOP salary calculation
LOP means loss of pay or unpaid leave/absence. A simple operational calculation is:
LOP deduction = per-day salary × unpaid units
If an employee has two full unpaid days and one half-day LOP, the unpaid total is 2.5 units. On a ₹30,000 salary using a fixed 30-day basis, the daily rate is ₹1,000 and the attendance-linked deduction is ₹2,500.
26 days vs 30 days vs actual calendar days
The divisor changes the daily rate. For a ₹30,000 monthly salary, dividing by 26 gives a higher per-day amount than dividing by 30 or 31. That means the same two days of LOP can produce a different deduction under each method.
This is why employers should not switch methods month to month simply because one result is convenient. Use the salary basis applicable to the employee and apply it consistently.
Salary proration for joining, leaving or part-month pay
For a mid-month joining or exit, enter the part of the selected salary divisor that your organisation treats as non-payable in the Unpaid leave / LOP / non-payable days field. The calculator derives the remaining present/payable units automatically.
The exact non-payable count can differ by policy. A calendar-day approach and a working-day approach do not necessarily count the same dates, which is why the salary basis should be applied consistently.
How half-days and paid leave affect salary
Paid leave and unpaid leave both accept decimal day values, so a half day can be entered as 0.5. Paid leave does not create an LOP deduction, while unpaid leave / LOP does.
You do not need to manually enter or reconcile present days. The calculator derives the remaining present / regular paid days automatically from the selected salary divisor after paid leave and unpaid / LOP days are entered.
How overtime is added
Enter OT days and your organisation's OT rate per day. The calculator adds OT days × OT rate after the attendance-linked LOP deduction. OT is shown separately because overtime is additional pay rather than part of the normal monthly attendance reconciliation.
Attendance salary is not the same as final payroll
This calculator deliberately stops at attendance-linked salary. It does not calculate PF, ESI, professional tax, TDS, loans, advances or other statutory and payroll deductions.
That boundary is useful: first understand the salary impact of attendance, leave and LOP; then apply the payroll and statutory rules relevant to your organisation.
Worked examples
Attendance salary examples
Example 2 · Part month
₹45,000 salary, 12 non-payable days
On a fixed 30-day basis, 12 non-payable days leave 18 payable units. ₹45,000 ÷ 30 × 18 gives an estimated ₹27,000.
Example 3 · Overtime
2 OT days at ₹1,600 per day
OT pay is calculated separately: 2 × ₹1,600 = ₹3,200, then added to the attendance-linked salary after any LOP deduction.
Common questions
Attendance salary calculator FAQ
How do I calculate per-day salary in India from monthly salary?
Divide the monthly salary amount by the divisor your organisation uses for that employee, such as actual calendar days, a fixed 30 days, a fixed 26 days or a defined working-day count. The correct basis should follow your organisation policy, appointment terms and applicable requirements.
How is LOP salary deduction calculated?
A common operational formula is per-day salary multiplied by unpaid or LOP units. A half-day LOP counts as 0.5 unit. This calculator shows the deduction and the resulting payable salary.
Should salary be divided by 26 days or 30 days?
Indian employers use different bases. A fixed 26-day method, fixed 30-day method, actual calendar days and working-day methods can produce different deductions. Do not choose a method only because it gives a preferred result; use the method applicable to your organisation consistently.
Can I calculate salary for an employee who joins or leaves mid-month?
Yes. Enter the non-payable portion of the month in the Unpaid leave / LOP / non-payable days field, using the salary basis followed by your organisation. The calculator automatically derives the remaining present/payable units.
Does paid leave reduce salary in this calculator?
No. Paid leave is treated as paid time in this attendance-linked estimate. It reduces the auto-calculated present days but does not create an LOP deduction. Enter half-day leave as 0.5.
How does the overtime calculation work?
Enter OT days, including 0.5 where relevant, and the amount your organisation pays per OT day. The calculator adds OT days multiplied by the OT rate after the attendance-linked LOP deduction.
Does this calculator calculate PF, ESI, professional tax or TDS?
No. It estimates attendance-linked salary or gross payable amount before statutory payroll deductions. It is not a statutory payroll or tax calculator.
