CTC to In-Hand Salary Calculator India
Estimate how much salary lands in your bank account every month after PF, professional tax, income tax, and other deductions.
Variable pay is treated as an annual payout here, not as a monthly amount. The calculator also estimates how much of your total annual tax burden is attributable to that variable component.
Inputs
Enter your salary details
Use your offer letter or salary structure if available. The estimate updates instantly as you adjust PF, tax regime, and deductions.
When enabled, variable pay becomes the remaining CTC after fixed salary percentage.
New regime estimates use the standard deduction only. Old regime estimates also apply the 80C, HRA, home loan interest, carried-forward loss set-off, and other old-regime deduction values you enter.

Frequently asked questions
What is CTC?
CTC means cost to company, which is the total annual amount an employer spends on your compensation package. It can include fixed pay, variable pay, employer PF, and other benefits.
Why is in-hand salary lower than CTC?
Your in-hand salary is lower because taxes, PF contributions, professional tax, and other deductions reduce what reaches your bank account.
Is employer PF part of CTC?
In many salary structures, yes. Employer PF is often shown as part of total CTC even though it is not part of monthly take-home pay.
Does this calculator include income tax?
Yes. The estimate includes a simplified annual income tax calculation based on the selected tax regime.
Is this calculator accurate?
It is directionally useful but simplified. Final payroll figures depend on actual salary structure, exemptions, allowances, payroll policies, and changing tax rules.
Which tax regime is better?
That depends on your deductions, exemptions, and salary structure. The new regime often suits employees with lower deductions, while the old regime may help when eligible deductions are significant.
