ESI Eligibility Calculator

Make a preliminary ESI coverage and contribution estimate from monthly gross wages. Key ceiling and rate fields are editable because rules can change.

Calculate your estimate

How this calculation works

Gross wages are compared with the entered wage ceiling. If within the ceiling, employee and employer rates are applied to gross wages.

Formula used

Contribution = monthly gross wages × applicable contribution rate ÷ 100.

Practical example

At ₹18,000 gross, a 0.75% employee rate estimates ₹135 and a 3.25% employer rate estimates ₹585.

Important considerations

  • Coverage can depend on establishment and employee circumstances.
  • Contribution periods and continuation rules are not modelled.
  • Verify current ESIC notifications before compliance action.

Frequently asked questions

Why are the ceiling and rates editable?

ESI rules can change, so the assumptions should be checked and updated.

Does likely ineligible mean no ESI applies?
