This calculator applies the HRA percentage selected by you to the basic-pay amount entered in the calculator.

HRA Amount Basic Pay × HRA Percentage ÷ 100
Basic Pay + HRA Basic Pay + HRA Amount
Example

HRA Calculation Example

Suppose your basic pay is ₹30,100 and, for illustration, you want to calculate HRA at 20%.

HRA = ₹30,100 × 20 ÷ 100

HRA = ₹6,020

Basic Pay + HRA = ₹36,120

The 20% rate above is used only to demonstrate the calculation. Use the HRA percentage applicable to your own salary situation.
