Cross-border pay, made legible

Know your number before you sign.

Salary, tax and end-of-service calculators for people working across the Gulf, Southeast Asia and India — built on the actual law, not rules of thumb.

What TheSalaryCalc does

Taking a new job, leaving one, or comparing an offer in another country usually comes down to a few numbers: what you take home each month, what goes to social security and tax, and what you are owed when you leave. Every country works these out under its own law, and the rules are often not what people expect.

This site has 19 free calculators across 13 countries in the Gulf, Southeast Asia and India. Each one answers a single question, using that country's current rules.

Which calculator do I need?

How the numbers are worked out

Each calculator follows the labour or tax law of its country, and names that law on its page. The formulas are tested against worked examples before they go live, and every calculator page shows when its rates were last checked.

The most common mistake is entering your total salary. Most gratuity and severance formulas use basic salary only, and a few add fixed allowances. Each calculator tells you exactly which figure to enter.

Everything is calculated in your browser. The figures you type are not sent to or stored on our servers.

Before you rely on a figure

The results are estimates. Your contract, your company's policy or a recent change in the law can change the final amount. For a final settlement, confirm the figure with your employer or with the labour ministry named on each calculator page.
