![](https://docs.pockethrms.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F4282324958-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F-MXep_PEmh8mDPVWj49x%252Fuploads%252FT4hJXM4EYYec17wjBuci%252F7.png%3Falt%3Dmedia&width=768&dpr=4&quality=100&sign=66adefee&sv=1)
Step 9: To check PF deductions, go to the employee’s profile again, under the ‘Salary’ tab, click on the ‘Salary Details’ subtab, and here you can check ‘PF Deductions’.
For example,
PF calculation if EB (Earned Basic) is more than 15000
As this calculation was based on the salary which is more than ₹15000 hence PF is calculated as 15000*12/100 = ₹1800.
![](https://docs.pockethrms.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F4282324958-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F-MXep_PEmh8mDPVWj49x%252Fuploads%252FwQKSB4IuAePhnjOkaqmG%252F8.png%3Falt%3Dmedia&width=768&dpr=4&quality=100&sign=99e00199&sv=1)
PF calculation if the EB (Earned Basic) is less than 15000
For this, you need to follow all the steps mentioned above for the payroll process, but only the PF amount will change & it will be calculated on Earned Basic (EB) 11500.
EB 11500 * 12/100 = PF Amount 1416 ₹.
