How This Site Works
SmallHRTools is a free library of 33 HR and payroll calculators built for businesses too small to have an HR department - typically teams under 50 people. It is not an HRIS, there is nothing to install or sign up for, and no calculator here is a teaser for a paid version. Open a tool like the employee turnover calculator or the in-hand salary calculator, enter your numbers, and read the full breakdown of how the result was reached.
Most of the tools are universal HR metrics that work for any country - (turnover rate, cost per hire, retention, absenteeism, headcount planning and more). Alongside them sits a set of India statutory calculators - PF, ESI, TDS, professional tax, gratuity, HRA - which are clearly labeled, updated when rates or slabs change, and show a visible "Last updated" date so you know what financial year the numbers reflect. Every tool page explains its formula, walks through a worked example, and answers the questions we most often see about that calculation.
The site is built and maintained by Shakti Makvana - you can read about the methodology and update policy on the About page. Longer explainers with worked examples live on the blog. Calculators are estimation aids, not legal advice; for compliance decisions, confirm with a qualified professional.
