Frequently asked questions

Why is in-hand salary lower than CTC ÷ 12?

CTC includes employer PF contribution and gratuity that never reach your bank account, plus your own deductions: employee PF (12% of basic), professional tax, and income tax (TDS).

Which tax regime does this use?

The new regime for FY 2025-26 (default): slabs of 0% up to ₹4L rising to 30% above ₹24L, a ₹75,000 standard deduction, Section 87A rebate making income up to ₹12L effectively tax-free, plus 4% cess.

What is the 50% basic assumption?

Most Indian companies set basic salary at 40–50% of CTC. PF and gratuity are calculated on basic, so this ratio shifts your take-home. Adjust the slider to match your offer letter.

Is this exact?

It is a close estimate for planning. Company-specific allowances, variable pay, NPS, and state-wise professional tax rules create small differences — always confirm with your payslip or HR.
