Overview
Salary components (earnings, deductions, allowances) let you build each pay slip from modular pieces—fixed or variable—across pay cycles.
Step‑by‑Step Instructions
Navigate to Settings → Payroll Settings → Salary Components.
Click + Add New Salary Components.
Fill in the form:
Component Name (e.g. “Basic Salary,” “Special Allowance”).
Component Type: Earnings or Deductions.
Value Type:
Fixed (same amount each period)
CTC Percent (percentage of CTC)
Basic Percent (percentage of basic)
Variable (manually entered per slip)
Component Values: enter monthly, weekly, bi‑weekly, semi‑monthly rates as needed.
Save and repeat for each component.
Tips
Name components consistently (e.g. “HRA” not “House Rent”).
Mark rarely changing items as Fixed to speed up payroll runs.
Use Variable for bonuses or one‑off deductions.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
Q: I can’t see my new component on the payslip edit screen
Make sure you added it under the correct Component Type and that your Salary Group includes it (see next guide).
Q: Percentages not calculating correctly
Verify your base values (CTC or Basic) aren’t zero or missing in the employee’s profile.
