How to use the take-home salary calculator

  1. Enter your annual CTC (the total package in your offer letter).
  2. Set your Basic salary % (usually 40-50% of CTC; it drives your PF).
  3. Pick your tax regime and your state (for professional tax).
  4. For the old regime, add your HRA exemption and any 80C beyond PF. See your monthly in-hand and the full breakup.

CTC vs in-hand: why they differ

Your CTC (Cost to Company) is everything your employer spends on you in a year. But some of it never reaches your bank: the employer's PF contribution and a gratuity provision are part of CTC yet paid elsewhere. From the remaining gross salary, your own PF (12% of Basic), professional tax, and income tax (TDS) are deducted. What's left is your take-home.

Assumptions used

This calculator assumes employer and employee PF at 12% of Basic, a gratuity provision of about 4.81% of Basic, the standard deduction (₹75,000 new / ₹50,000 old), and professional tax by state. Real structures vary - some firms cap PF, add allowances, or size Basic differently - so treat this as a close estimate and confirm with your payslip.

Frequently asked questions

How is in-hand salary calculated from CTC?+

In-hand salary = Gross salary minus employee PF, professional tax and income tax (TDS). Gross salary is your CTC minus employer contributions like employer PF and gratuity, which are part of CTC but not paid to you monthly.

Why is my in-hand salary lower than my CTC?+

CTC includes costs your employer bears that you don't receive as cash - employer PF, gratuity provisioning and sometimes insurance - plus your own deductions (PF, professional tax, income tax). Typically in-hand is about 70-85% of CTC, lower at higher salaries.

Is this exact?+

It's a close estimate. Actual take-home depends on your company's exact salary structure, your declarations, and state rules. Use it as a strong guide, and confirm with your payslip or HR.
