Computational Framework & Statutory Formulas
Gross Salary = Basic (typically 40-50%) + Housing (20-30%) + Transport (10-15%) + Allowances
Total Deductions = Employee Pension (8% of B+H+T) + PAYE + NHF (2.5% of Basic) + Voluntary Deductions
Total CTC = Gross Salary + Employer Pension (10%) + NSITF (1% of Gross) + ITF (1% of Annual Payroll)
