What Is a Salary Calculator?

Your CTC and your in-hand salary are not the same. The difference — usually 20 to 30% — goes toward employer PF contributions, gratuity, and other components that are part of the package but never credited to your account.

This calculator shows your exact monthly in-hand after deducting employee PF, professional tax, and income tax under both old and new regime. Useful for comparing job offers, planning a monthly budget, or verifying your tax liability before filing ITR.

CTC to In-Hand Reference (FY 2025–26)

New tax regime. PF = 12% of basic (basic assumed at 40% of CTC). Professional tax = ₹200/month.

Old Regime vs New Regime — Which One to Choose

From FY 2025–26, the new regime is the default. For most employees earning under ₹12 LPA, it works out to zero tax — income up to ₹12 lakh is covered by the Section 87A rebate.

The old regime is worth considering if your total deductions — 80C investments (up to ₹1.5L), home loan interest (up to ₹2L), and health insurance (₹25K–₹50K) — add up to more than ₹3.75 lakh. Below that, the new regime almost always saves more.

Why Your Result May Differ From Your Actual In-Hand

This calculator uses standard assumptions — basic at 40% of CTC, PF on full basic, and a flat ₹200 professional tax. Your company may structure salary differently.

Common reasons for a difference: HRA exemption if you pay rent (reduces taxable income), company-specific basic percentage, variable PF contribution, food or transport allowances, or additional deductions like NPS or voluntary PF.

For the most accurate result, enter your actual basic salary and check your salary slip for the exact PF and professional tax amounts deducted each month.

FAQ – Salary Calculator

Around ₹72,000–₹77,000 per month under the new tax regime. Main deductions: employee PF (~₹4,000), professional tax (~₹200), and income tax (~₹2,083).

Around ₹46,000–₹47,400 per month. Income tax is zero at ₹6 LPA under the new regime — Section 87A rebate applies up to ₹12 lakh taxable income.

For most employees under ₹12 LPA — yes, zero tax under the new regime. Above ₹12 LPA, compare your deductions. If 80C + home loan interest + health insurance cross ₹3.75 lakh annually, the old regime may save more.

CTC includes employer PF and gratuity — the company’s total cost, not what you receive. Gross salary is your earnings before deductions. In-hand (net salary) is what gets credited after PF, professional tax, and income tax.

PF is mandatory if your basic salary is below ₹15,000/month and your company has 20 or more employees. Above ₹15,000 basic, it depends on company policy — most large employers enforce it regardless.
