Use this calculator when you receive a job offer or during salary negotiations to understand how much of your CTC will actually reach your bank account, for example, if your CTC is ₹15 lakhs per annum, you can estimate your monthly in-hand salary after deducting PF, professional tax, and income tax.
This calculator works by breaking down your CTC into its components, such as basic salary, HRA, employee and employer PF, professional tax, and new-regime income tax, and then estimating your monthly in-hand salary with accuracy and privacy, as all calculations happen in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Why is gratuity deducted from CTC?
