Compare an employee’s actual wage against the state minimum wage, see the shortfall per day and month, and estimate arrears for your team.
Applicable minimum wage
What you actually pay
Good to know
- Minimum wages are notified separately by each state and revised twice a year (usually April and October) with the Variable Dearness Allowance (VDA).
- Rates also differ by scheduled employment, industry and zone within a state. Always use the rate from your own notification for the exact employment.
- The Code on Wages, 2019 (in force since 21 Nov 2025) sets a national floor wage that no state may go below. Check whether it has been notified before relying on it.
- Paying below the notified minimum wage is a labour law violation. The shortfall is recoverable by the worker as arrears, and the employer can be penalised.
