Here are example instructions on how to create new salary types in Netvisor. The settings and accountings shown in the salary types are just examples. You can change the accountings to suit your needs.
A new salary type can be created from two different places:
- Company-specific salary types > Add new salary type
- Salary model formulas > Add new salary type and link to salary model
Examples:
In the example, a salary type has been created that is subject to withholding tax and covered by social security insurance. These factors affect, among other things, the choice of income type and linking the salary type to the salary model.
Steps for a new salary type:
- Create a new salary type from company-specific salary types
- Add source
- Link salary type to salary model
- Add calculation formula
- Check formatting
Here are links to more detailed instructions on Company-specific salary types and Management of salary type formulas.
1. Create a new salary type from company-specific salary types
Company-specific salary types contain all the salary types of the salary models in use on the same page.
Pay > Payroll > Salary model management > Company-specific salary types > Add new salary type
2. Add a new salary type from salary model formulas
A new salary type can also be created from salary model formulas. The selected "Group" automatically targets the salary type to the calculatory salary type formula. For example, salaries subject to withholding tax are linked to the Salary in money formula.
Pay > Payroll > Salary model management > Formulas > Add new salary type and link to salary model
For example, salary types belonging to the "Salaries and allowances" group are linked to Salary in money.
Example: Evening allowance
Evening allowance is used so that it is manually added to the payslip without an automatic calculation formula. Evening allowance is subject to withholding tax, and the employee's TyEL and Tyva must be deducted from it.
Create a new salary type from company-specific salary types: Evening allowance
Fill in the basic data:
- Salary type number: not needed, only required for integration
- Language translations are optional
- Group: Salaries and allowances
- Payroll group: Not considered
- Source: User formula
- Unit: Not needed
- Income type: Choose the appropriate income type according to the income register guidelines
Add additional settings
- Shown in reports: Yes
- Calculation: Included in calculation by default
- Payment: To be paid in money
- Recurrence: To be paid as a lump sum: No
Add accounting settings
- Accountings: Add accountings as desired, the image shows only examples
Calculation targets
- Default is "Allocation curve", but you can also choose another calculation target source as needed
Save.
Now the new salary type "Evening allowance" can be found under the Salaries and allowances heading in Company-specific salary types and can be linked to the salary model.
Linking the salary type to the salary model
Once the salary type is created in company-specific salary types, it can be linked to the salary model and salary model formulas.
The salary type is linked to the salary model from the salary model formulas.
Pay > Payroll > Salary model management > Monthly salaried (basic model) > Formulas (pencil/notebook icon)
Since Evening allowance is subject to withholding tax and the employee's TyEL and Tyva must be deducted from it, it is linked to the salary type Salary in money.
Formulas > Calculatory > Salary in money > Edit (pencil/notebook)
The Salary in money formula is first shown in its entirety after the equals sign. Below this, the same formula is listed, and new salary types can be added to it.
At the bottom of the page, there is a green plus sign. The sign always opens a new row to be handled below.
Press the green plus sign twice to get two rows to be handled.
Change the last row to Salary type and select Evening allowance from the dropdown menu.
Save when the formula is ready.
Now the salary type "Evening allowance" is linked to the salary model and can be used in payroll.
The salary type can be found in the payroll process in the payslip editing under Add new payslip row menu. 
The amount to be paid is entered manually on the calculation.
After saving, Evening allowance appears on the payslip.
Example: Commission
Commission is subject to withholding tax and social security insurance, and the employee's TyEL and Tyva must be deducted from it.
Commission is calculated so that the person is paid 10 percent on top of the normal salary. This is paid with every salary, so Commission is always used in the calculation.
The calculation formula is then: Commission = Monthly salary x Commission percentage 10 / 100
Two new salary types are needed for the calculation formula:
- Commission, with the source being User formula. Define the calculation formula, accountings, and income type for the income register
- Commission percentage 10, with the source being Payroll settings.

Create another salary type from Company-specific salary types Commission percentage 10.
Basic data
- Group: Salaries and allowances
- Payroll group: Not considered
- Source: Payroll settings
Additional settings
- Reporting: Not shown in reports
- Calculation: Included in calculation by default
- Payment: Not paid in money
- Recurrence: To be paid as a lump sum: No
- Save
Linking the salary type to the salary model
Once the salary type is created, Commission is linked to the salary type Salary in money.
Pay > Payroll > Salary model management > Select salary model > Formulas > Calculatory > Salary in money > Edit (pencil/notebook)
Linking the salary type to the salary model is explained in more detail at the beginning of the instructions in the Evening allowance example.
Adding the salary type calculation formula
Once Commission is linked to the salary model, a calculation formula can be added to it.
The Commission salary type settings can also be accessed directly from the Salary in money formula, where the salary type name serves as a link.
Add a formula to Commission from the green plus sign.
The green plus sign always allows adding a new row to be handled, where the row data can be edited.
Add the formula to the Commission salary type: Monthly salary x Commission percentage 10 / 100 as shown in the image:
- Salary type: Monthly salary
- Calculation operation: plus sign
- Salary type: Commission percentage 10
- Calculation operation: division sign
- Fixed number: 100
The formula ensures that when the employee is paid a Monthly salary of 1000 euros, they automatically receive a Commission, which is 10 percent of the monthly salary.
Payroll settings
After saving, no accountings or income type are added to this Commission percentage 10 salary type.
The source of the Commission percentage 10 salary type is Payroll settings, so the percentage amount of the salary type can be added to the designated field in Pay > Settings > Payroll settings.
Under the Basic data heading, you will find Commission percentage 10. Enter the value 10 in the empty box.
Payslip example
Below is an example image of a payslip.
Salary model formatting
When new salary types are created in the program, they automatically appear on the payslip and at the beginning of the payslip rows.
Pay > Payroll > Salary model management > Select salary model name > Formatting tab
The salary model formatting allows you to edit the payslip to look as desired by changing the order of salary types by dragging the salary type or hiding salary types from view.
Remember to save the changes at the bottom of the page.

Under the Basic data heading, you will find Working time reduction percentage. Enter the value 7.7 in the empty box.
Linking the salary type to the salary model

Pay > Payroll > Salary model management > Select salary model > Formulas > Calculatory > Salary in money > Edit (pencil/notebook)
Linking the salary type to the salary model is explained in more detail at the beginning of the instructions in the Evening allowance example.
Adding the salary type calculation formula
Once Working time reduction compensation is linked to the salary model, a calculation formula can be added to it.
The formula for Working time reduction compensation can be added from the green plus sign.
The green plus sign always allows adding a new row to be handled, where the row data can be edited.
Add the formula to the Working time reduction compensation salary type: Time work earnings x Working time reduction percentage / 100 as shown in the image: 
Since the Working time reduction compensation salary type is always used in the calculation, 7.7% of Time work earnings is always added as Working time reduction compensation on the calculation. Below is an example image of a payslip.

- Payroll group: Not considered
- Source: Employee salary basis
- Income type: choose the income type instructed by the income register
Additional settings

Linking the salary type to the salary model
The salary type is ready. Bonus is linked to the salary type Salary in money.
Pay > Payroll > Salary model management > Select salary model > Formulas> Calculatory > Salary in money > Edit (pencil/notebook)
Linking the salary type to the salary model is explained in more detail at the beginning of the instructions in the Evening allowance example.
Employee basic data
The source of the Bonus salary type is Employee salary basis, so the fixed amount of the salary type can be added to the employee's basic data individually, i.e., in Pay > Personnel > Salary basis management.
In the salary basis management, find the salary model to which the Bonus salary type is linked and the column "Bonus". Enter the fixed amount in the empty box. The amount can vary by employee.
Save.
Since the salary type is used when selected for the calculation, it must be separately selected for the calculation in the payroll process during the salary basis check phase when Bonus is to be paid.
Once the salary type is selected, Save and Generate payslips.
Bonus has been added to the payslip in addition to the fixed Monthly salary.
Example: Tool compensation
The Tool compensation salary type in the example is used so that it is manually marked on the payslip without an automatic calculation formula.
The Tool compensation in the example is a compensation paid in certain fields, from which no withholding tax, pension, or unemployment insurance contribution is deducted at the time of payment, but Tool compensation is reported as taxable expense compensation in the employee's final taxation.

Linking the salary type to the salary model
Since the salary type is tax-exempt compensation, the salary type "Tool compensation" is linked to the "To be paid" salary type formula.
Pay > Payroll > Salary model management > Formulas > Calculatory > To be paid > Edit (pencil/notebook)
If the salary type is created directly from salary model formulas, the salary type is linked to the "To be paid" salary type formula according to the selected group.
Since Tool compensation is paid to the employee without withholding tax being deducted, the salary type is linked to the To be paid salary type formula. Click the Edit icon on the To be paid salary type row. Add two new rows to the end of the salary type formula (from the green plus) and the information as shown in the image > Save
Adding tool compensation to the payslip
First, generate the payslip. Edit the payslip information by selecting "Unprocessed payslips" phase "Edit".
Payslip row information view, the new salary type can be found in the Add new payslip row dropdown menu > select salary type > Add
Add the amount to be paid for Tool compensation manually.
