CTC to In-Hand Salary Calculator

Break a cost-to-company figure into gross, deductions and monthly in-hand pay.

Formula

in-hand = gross − PF − professional tax − income tax

Tips

  • CTC is what you cost the employer, not what you receive. Employer PF, gratuity accrual and insurance premiums sit inside CTC but never reach your account.
  • A higher basic increases PF and gratuity — better long-term savings, lower monthly cash.
  • Professional tax is levied by state and capped at ₹2,500 a year. Some states, including Delhi and Haryana, do not levy it at all.
  • Variable pay and joining bonuses are usually included in CTC but paid conditionally, which is the most common reason in-hand differs from expectation.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my in-hand so much lower than CTC ÷ 12?

Typically 15–25% of CTC never reaches you: employer PF, gratuity accrual, insurance and any variable component, before income tax and your own PF are deducted.
