About the Dashain bonus calculator
In Nepal the "Dashain bonus" is a statutory payment properly called the festival allowance or festival expense (चाडपर्व खर्च). Under Section 37 of the Labour Act 2074, a worker is entitled to an amount equal to one month's basic remuneration each year, paid at Dashain, and a worker who has not completed one year of service is entitled to a proportionate amount. It is an entitlement, not a discretionary bonus.
How the allowance is worked out
The statutory amount is one month's basic remuneration. If you have completed less than a year of service at the payment date, the amount is reduced in proportion to your service — so six months of service gives half a month's basic. The calculator shows the gross allowance, whether it has been pro-rated and, optionally, an estimate of tax deducted at source.
What it does not cover
This tool estimates the statutory festival allowance only. Any extra bonus your contract or employer offers is separate, and other things such as provident fund, gratuity and the annual profit-sharing Bonus Act 2030 are not included here. Tax treatment depends on your salary structure — enter your own TDS rate if you know it, and confirm the final figure with your employer or the Inland Revenue Department.
