1. What is the Monthly Travel Salary Calculation?

The monthly travel salary calculation combines a fixed travel allowance with the monthly portion of an annual base salary. This provides employees with a clear understanding of their monthly compensation including travel expenses.

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( Travel\ Allowance \) — Fixed monthly amount for travel expenses
