How this calculator works
- Add earnings line items the same way most Sri Lankan payroll sheets are structured. EPF / ETF eligible earnings are derived automatically from the Basic Salary line.
- Pick the APIT mode that matches the case: primary employment, secondary/no declaration, or employer-borne tax on tax.
- The page updates the payslip summary in real time so users can see take-home pay, APIT, EPF, ETF, and total employer cost together.
Worked example
With total monthly earnings of LKR 250,000.00, the current setup can show APIT, employee EPF, employer EPF/ETF, and a live take-home estimate without leaving the page.
Important assumptions
- Primary-employment APIT follows the Inland Revenue Department monthly tables for year of assessment 2025-2026, effective from 2025-04-01.
- The secondary / no declaration mode uses the higher withholding-style monthly table commonly applied where the employee has not furnished a primary declaration or has multiple employments.
- The employer-pays-tax mode uses the tax-on-tax monthly table so the APIT is added to employer cost rather than deducted from employee take-home pay.
- EPF and ETF are shown at the common statutory rates: employee EPF 8%, employer EPF 12%, employer ETF 3%. This calculator derives EPF / ETF eligible earnings automatically from the Basic Salary amount.
