Government salaries move to the 65% phase of Circular 10/2025
From 1 January 2026, public servants on the revised 2025 scales are paid 65% of the salary increase above the immediate-pay floor (the first Rs 12,500 of any increase is already paid in full). The remaining balance becomes payable in full from 1 January 2027.
The calculator's Government tab already reflects this phase for every scale and step in the salary database — select January 2026 somewhere in the phase selector, or just leave the default.

National minimum wage rises to Rs 30,000 per month
Under the National Minimum Wage of Workers statutes, the minimum wage for private-sector workers is Rs 30,000 per month or Rs 1,200 per day from 1 January 2026.
Use the Wage board converter to check a daily or monthly rate against the new minimum, and the Employer cost tool to see what a minimum-wage employee costs in total.

New APIT tables and slabs apply from 1 April 2025
The Inland Revenue (Amendment) Act No. 2 of 2025 raised the personal relief to Rs 1,800,000 per year (Rs 150,000/month) and introduced the current progressive slabs (6% – 36%) for Y/A 2025/26, which continue into 2026/27.
The calculator applies these tables to regular employment income; bonuses and lump sums are still taxed at the flat rate. See the Tax & deductions guide for the full slab table.
