Why might this differ from your payslip?
The Labour Codes in force since 21 November 2025 push basic to at least half of pay, but many offers still set it between 30% and 45% of CTC. Basic drives EPF, gratuity and HRA, so a different share moves the monthly figure by a few thousand rupees. Special allowance absorbs whatever basic and HRA leave, so the package always adds up to CTC. Read the basic line on your offer letter and set the slider to match.
Bonus and variable components sit inside CTC but are not paid monthly, and are often paid at 80–100% of target. Enter the variable amount above and the monthly figure will show only the fixed part.
Many employers compute PF on the ₹25,000 statutory wage ceiling (₹3,000 a month, raised from ₹15,000 on 17 September 2026) instead of the full basic. Some keep employer PF outside CTC. Both toggles are in the package section.
Payroll spreads the annual tax across twelve months, but it recomputes when you declare investments, change jobs mid year or receive a bonus. The March payslip is often lower than this estimate; the yearly total should match.
Food coupons, group insurance premiums, gym or phone reimbursements and stock grants all live inside CTC at some companies. They are not cash, so they do not appear here. Subtract them from CTC before entering it.

How CTC becomes in hand salary
1
CTC to gross
Employer PF (12% of basic) and any gratuity provision come out of CTC first. That money is yours, but it never reaches your bank account monthly.
2
Gross to taxable
The ₹75,000 standard deduction comes off automatically under the FY 2026-27 new regime. Under the old regime it is ₹50,000 plus whatever you declare: 80C, HRA, home loan interest.
3
Tax on the slabs
The new regime charges nothing up to ₹4L, then 5-30% in ₹4L bands. The 87A rebate wipes tax on taxable income up to ₹12L, so ₹12.75L CTC-ish salaries pay zero income tax.
4
Taxable to in hand
From gross, subtract the computed tax, your own 12% EPF contribution and professional tax. Divide by twelve. That is the number that matters.
Questions, answered straight
CTC (cost to company) is everything your employer spends on you: gross salary plus employer PF, gratuity provision and benefits. In hand salary is what lands in your bank account each month after employer contributions are removed and income tax, your own EPF contribution and professional tax are deducted. A 12 LPA CTC is roughly ₹90,000 per month in hand under the new regime, not ₹1,00,000.
Start with CTC, subtract employer EPF (12% of basic) and any gratuity provision to get gross salary. From gross, subtract the ₹75,000 standard deduction to get taxable income, compute income tax under the FY 2026-27 new regime slabs, then subtract that tax, your own 12% EPF contribution and professional tax from gross. Divide by 12 for the monthly figure.
Yes, under the new regime. The section 87A rebate wipes out tax on taxable income up to ₹12,00,000, and with the ₹75,000 standard deduction a salary of ₹12.75 lakh pays zero income tax. Above that, marginal relief phases the tax in gradually. You still pay EPF and professional tax, so in hand is below gross even when income tax is zero.
For most salaried people in FY 2026-27 the new regime wins: its slabs are lower and the 87A rebate covers taxable income to ₹12 lakh. The old regime only wins if you claim large deductions, typically above roughly ₹4-4.5 lakh combined from 80C, HRA exemption, home loan interest and 80D. This calculator compares both on your exact numbers.
Company salary structures differ: basic may be 40% or 50% of CTC, employer PF may be capped at ₹3,000 per month on the ₹25,000 statutory wage ceiling, gratuity may or may not sit inside CTC, and variable pay is usually paid quarterly or annually, not monthly. Adjust the assumptions in the calculator to match your offer letter.
No. Professional tax is a state levy, at most ₹2,500 per year. Karnataka and Maharashtra charge about ₹200 per month, while Delhi and Haryana charge none. The calculator defaults to ₹2,400 per year and lets you change it.
