Let’s understand ESI calculation with an example to make it clear-
Suppose the Gross Salary of an employee is INR 18,000 per month. Then the employee’s share of contribution would be: 0.75/100 * 18,000 = INR 135/ month. And the employer’s share of contribution would be: 3.25/100 * 18,000 = INR 585/ month
Hence, the total ESI contribution per month would become 135 + 585 = INR 720 for the employee.
