Calculation of Employer & Employee Contribution for ESI
All commercial establishments like corporate organisations, factories, cinema theatres, offices, and institutions have to register for ESI. Often employers and employees get confused with the percentage that goes into this contribution. ESI amount is deducted from an employee’s gross salary, which is the income earned, excluding taxes and health insurance deductions.
The components of the salary for calculating ESI are basic pay, dearness allowance, HRA, incentives, special allowances, etc. The rate of the employee’s contribution is 1.75% of the gross pay, and for the employer, it is 4.75%. Totally, 6.5% of the wages are paid as ESI contributions.
Example:
Suppose an employee earns ₹20,000 as his monthly gross pay. The ESI deduction has to be calculated as:
Employee’s Contribution:
1.75% of ₹ 20,000 = ₹ 350 per monthEmployer’s Contribution:
4.75% of ₹ 20,000 = ₹950 per monthThe total contribution towards ESI for an employee with a salary of ₹20,000 per month will be ₹350 (employee contribution) + ₹ 950 (employer contribution) = ₹1,300 per month.
If the employee’s salary is increased to ₹ 25,000 per month during either one of the contribution periods, then the ESI has to be calculated for ₹ 25,000.
