COMMON QUESTIONS

Is EPF calculated on Gross or Basic?

In Sri Lanka, **EPF & ETF** are strictly calculated based on your **Basic Salary** and fixed allowances (like Budgetary Relief Allowance), not on your total Gross income which includes OT.

What is the standard OT Rate?

The standard rate for most private sector employees is **1.5x** the hourly basic rate. For Sundays or Public Holidays, this can go up to **2.0x (Double OT)**.

What is Net Take-Home Pay?

This is the **Final Amount** you receive in your bank account after adding all earnings and subtracting all deductions like **EPF (8%)**, taxes, and loan repayments.

Do I pay for ETF?

**No.** The 3% ETF contribution is paid entirely by your **Employer**. It is never deducted from your monthly salary.
