What is CTC?

CTC (Cost to Company) is the total annual expenditure a company makes on an employee, including basic salary, allowances, employer PF, gratuity, and all other benefits.

What is Take-Home Salary?

Take-home salary (Net Salary) is the amount an employee actually receives after all deductions like Employee PF, Professional Tax, and Income Tax are subtracted from the gross salary.

Old vs New Tax Regime

The Old Regime allows various exemptions (HRA, 80C, etc.) while the New Regime offers lower slab rates without most exemptions. Choosing the right regime can significantly impact your tax outgo.

How This Calculator Works

Enter your annual CTC and the calculator automatically estimates your salary structure using common payroll assumptions used in Indian companies. It calculates components like Basic Salary, HRA, Special Allowance, Employer PF and Gratuity, then subtracts statutory deductions to show your estimated monthly take-home salary.

Typical Salary Structure in India

Most companies structure salaries with Basic Salary forming 35–45% of the total CTC. HRA is usually around 40–50% of Basic, while employer contributions such as Provident Fund and gratuity are included as part of the overall cost to company. The remaining portion is paid as special allowance or other benefits.

Why CTC and Take-Home Salary Differ

CTC includes several components that are not paid directly as cash. Employer PF contributions, gratuity provisions and statutory deductions like Professional Tax reduce the amount you actually receive as monthly take-home salary.

Disclaimer: This calculator provides estimated salary breakdowns based on standard Indian payroll assumptions. Actual figures may vary depending on your employer's policy and applicable tax rules.
