Allowances, simply explained
Three parts that shape gross pay
Each allowance responds to a different input. The result card keeps every component separate so you can see exactly where the total comes from.
House Rent Allowance
HRA depends on the selected X, Y or Z city class. Choose No HRA if it does not apply to your salary.
Transport Allowance
TA depends on pay level and city type. The calculator also applies DA to the transport allowance base in the current-pay view.
