Software Developer Job Salary in Kolkata

The median is ₹63,000 per month — half of the published salaries are above it and half below. The middle 50% of listings fall between ₹43,000 and ₹93,000. These are medians rather than averages on purpose: a handful of unusually high postings would drag an average somewhere no real job pays. Figures come from 116 live listings in Kolkata where the employer published a salary.

Entry-level roles cluster near the bottom of the range — around ₹29,000 to ₹43,000 per month. If you are being offered below ₹29,000, that is under what 90% of employers currently advertise for this kind of work in Kolkata, and worth questioning.

The top 10% of published salaries start at ₹1,10,000 per month. Roles at that level usually ask for several years of experience, supervisory responsibility, or a specific skill or certification the employer names in the listing.

About ₹7,56,000 a year at the median, which is simply the ₹63,000 monthly figure multiplied by twelve. Indian employers advertise these roles monthly, so the annual number is a conversion rather than something anyone published — and it does not assume a bonus or a thirteenth month. Entry-level works out around ₹3,48,000 and the top 10% start near ₹13,20,000.

Roughly ₹303 an hour, or ₹2,420 a day, at the median — derived from the monthly salary at 26 working days a month and 8 hours a day. Almost none of these roles are actually paid by the hour: the employer offers a fixed monthly salary, so treat this as a way to compare against hourly work rather than a rate on offer. Overtime and incentives are not included.

Only from live job listings on MyWork where the employer chose to publish a salary — 116 of them for this page. Listings with an undisclosed salary are excluded rather than estimated, and figures are recalculated daily as postings come and go. Nothing here is a survey, a projection or a self-reported figure.

Usually not. Most Indian employers publish a fixed monthly figure and describe incentives, travel allowance or overtime separately in the job description. Read the individual listing before comparing two offers — a lower fixed salary with incentives can pay more than a higher one without.
