language: c++
type: portfolio project

about

i made this project to practice c++ — specifically classes, file handling, and vectors. the logic is based on real payroll stuff i deal with at work so it felt more useful to build this than a random textbook example.

it runs in the terminal and lets you manage employees, view payslips, process payroll and save records to a file.

---

what it does

• view all employees in a table
• search by id and view payslip
• add a new employee
• update salary
• run monthly payroll for everyone (saves to txt file)
• department wise payout breakdown
• auto tax calculation — 10% if basic salary is above 40,000

---

c++ concepts used

• classes and objects
• constructors
• vectors
• file handling (ofstream)
• loops — for, do-while
• switch case
• iomanip for table formatting
• string, fixed, setprecision

---

how to run

make sure you have g++ installed

g++ payroll.cpp -o payroll
./payroll

on windows:

g++ payroll.cpp -o payroll.exe
payroll.exe

payroll records get saved to payroll_output.txt in the same folder
