Net to Gross Calculator — Sri Lanka

Job ads and offers talk gross; your budget thinks net. This tool works backwards: tell it the take-home you want, and it solves for the gross salary that produces it under the 2025/26 APIT tables, 8% EPF and stamp duty.

Example: to take home Rs. 200,000 a month, you need a gross of about Rs. 222,122 (assuming the full salary is basic). The gap grows as you climb tax bands — that's why "I want 50k more in hand" usually means asking for noticeably more than 50k gross.

In the calculator, switch the salary input to "Take-home (net)" mode — it reverse-solves your gross instantly and builds the entire payslip, increment plan and bonus tax from it.
