About this calculator
Many Nepal private employers pay about one month’s basic as Dashain / festival allowance. Banks and government grades may use a table. This calculator multiplies monthly basic × allowance months so families and HR share one number before tickets and gifts are booked.
Gross pay is not basic. NPR 55,000 gross with NPR 30,000 basic yields NPR 30,000 under a “one month basic” policy. Mid-year joiners are often pro-rated — changing the months field models that; it does not read your CBA. Festival bonus up to one month’s basic is commonly discussed as having distinct tax treatment; tick the tax note if you want that reminder, then verify IRD’s current Finance Act, not last year’s Facebook post.
