Frequently asked questions

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

CTC (Cost to Company) includes components you don't receive as cash each month, like the employer's contribution to your provident fund and gratuity. Your actual in-hand pay is what's left after those are set aside, plus your own PF contribution and professional tax.

Is basic salary included in CTC, or is it separate?

Basic salary is always one component inside your total CTC, not something added on top of it. Enter your full annual CTC exactly as stated in your offer letter — the calculator then estimates your basic as a percentage of that figure (50% by default, adjustable if you know your company's actual structure).

Does this include income tax?

No. Income tax (TDS) depends on which tax regime you choose, your declared investments and deductions, and other personal factors this calculator can't know. This estimate only accounts for PF and professional tax, both of which are far more standardized.

Why is basic salary assumed at 50% of CTC?

Many companies structure salaries with basic pay around 40-50% of the total CTC, though this varies by employer. You can adjust the percentage in the calculator if you know your company's actual structure.

What is professional tax, and why does it vary?

Professional tax is a small state-level tax on employment income, and both whether it applies and how much it is depends on which state you work in. ₹200/month is a common approximate figure, but check your payslip for your exact deduction.
