Payslip Analyzer — Check Salary and Deductions
Paste payslip text or open a TXT, CSV or Excel file. Review the suggested figures, then compare earnings, deductions and reported net pay. Your document stays in your browser.
This is an information tool, not advice. It performs the arithmetic and the screening you see below on the information you give it. It does not decide whether a position is lawful, compliant or correct, it is not a substitute for professional advice, and GHR assumes no duty of care to you in respect of it.
Read a payslip or enter its monthly figures
No upload or saved copy. Review all suggestions; monthly and year-to-date columns can look alike.
Reconcile the slip before judging a deduction
Check the payroll period and whether each figure is monthly or year-to-date. The reader suggests values from common labels; it cannot reliably infer every payroll format. Review its suggestions against the original document.
The first comparison sums earnings against reported gross. The second subtracts entered employee deductions and compares the answer with reported net. A difference identifies a record to inspect, not an unlawful deduction.
Employer PF, employer ESI and a gratuity provision belong in the employer-cost or CTC section. Avoid counting them again as employee deductions. Use the PF passbook checker for the separate question of whether a contribution was credited.
Worked example
₹30,000 gross less ₹1,800 employee PF, ₹200 PT and ₹1,000 TDS gives ₹27,000 net. A reported ₹26,500 net needs an explanation for the additional ₹500 deduction.

Questions people actually ask
- Can I upload a PDF salary slip?
- Copy its text into the box, or use TXT, CSV or XLSX. This tool does not run OCR on a scanned PDF. Extracted suggestions always need checking against the original before you calculate.
- Are files sent to GHR or an AI service?
- File reading and comparison run in this browser. The analyzer does not upload, save or send the file or its extracted amounts to a server. Closing or resetting the tool clears the working inputs.
- Does an arithmetic match prove my deductions are lawful?
- No. It only shows that the entered earnings and deductions reconcile to the reported totals. PF wages, ESI coverage, local taxes and permitted deductions still need their own checks.
- Why did the reader suggest the wrong amount?
- Payslip formats differ, and a line can contain a monthly figure, a year-to-date total and a label. Suggestions use the first amount after a recognised label. Review every extracted field before relying on it.
- Is employer PF an employee payslip deduction?
- Employer PF is an employer cost and should be distinguished from the employee contribution in a CTC breakdown. The analyzer counts only the employee deductions that you enter in its deduction fields.
- How can I check PF against my passbook?
- Use the related passbook mismatch checker to compare periods and employee contributions. Posting delays and pension diversion can explain differences; a single unmatched month is a prompt to inspect the underlying return.
