Overview

Payslip Studio makes salary slips in your browser. You set up the company once, with its address, registration numbers, logo, signature and stamp, and each employee once, with the PAN, UAN, bank account and a salary structure: basic as a share of the gross pay, HRA as a share of basic, allowances, and a special allowance that takes the rest. Every month you pick the month, type the days of loss of pay, the overtime hours or a bonus if there is any, and the payslip beside the form changes as you type.

The statutory deductions are worked out for you, each with a line that says how: EPF on wages up to the ceiling of the month, which rises from 15,000 to 25,000 on 17 September 2026, with the employer's pension and PF shares; ESI when the month's pay is up to 21,000; professional tax by the work state, with the February amount and the half-yearly states; and income tax for tax year 2026-27 in the new or the old regime, spread over the months left. Leave balances and loan balances carry from month to month, and year-to-date totals come from the saved months.

For the whole team, the Month view puts everyone's pay in one table and downloads every payslip as a zip or one PDF, the salary register, a bank transfer sheet and the PF ECR file for the EPFO portal. Nothing is uploaded. There is no account and no server.

The Rules Behind the Figures

• EPF - 12% of PF wages (basic, DA and retaining allowance) from the employee and the employer, on wages up to the ceiling: 15,000 until 16 September 2026 and 25,000 from 17 September 2026 under notification S.O. 5109(E), with September 2026 worked out in two parts for a single ECR. Of the employer's share, 8.33% goes to the pension scheme until 58.
• Labour Codes - Since 21 November 2025, allowances above half of the pay count as wages, so PF is worked out on half of the pay when basic and DA are less than that.
• ESI - 0.75% from the employee and 3.25% from the employer when the month's pay is up to 21,000 (25,000 for a person with a disability), rounded up to the next rupee, and continued to the end of the contribution period.
• Income tax - Tax year 2026-27 under the Income-tax Act, 2025, with the rates Budget 2026 left unchanged: in the new regime no tax up to 12 lakh of taxable income after the 75,000 standard deduction; in the old regime, the HRA exemption up to half of basic and DA in eight cities under the Income-tax Rules, 2026.
• Checked by us - Before publishing, we compared the tool's tax, professional tax, PF and ESI against our own calculation from the published rules for thousands of cases and whole tax years. The figures are still for reference: check unusual cases with your accountant, and keep the professional tax rules up to date for your state.
