What is a salary calculator?
A salary calculator estimates your in-hand (take-home) pay from your Cost to Company (CTC) package. CTC includes employer costs such as PF and variable pay like bonuses; not every rupee in CTC lands in your bank account each month.
Enter your annual CTC, bonus included in the package, monthly professional tax, employee and employer PF contributions, and any other recurring deductions. The tool shows gross salary, total deductions, and net monthly and annual take-home pay.
How do salary calculators work?
First, bonus included in CTC is subtracted to arrive at gross salary—the fixed recurring component of your package. Then all monthly deductions are summed and multiplied by twelve for the annual total.
Take Home = Gross Salary − Total Annual Deductions
Where –
| Gross Salary | CTC minus bonus included in CTC |
|---|---|
| Total Deductions | Professional tax + employee PF + employer PF + other monthly deductions (× 12) |
Gross Salary = CTC − (CTC × Bonus % / 100)
Worked example
CTC is ₹5,00,000 with a ₹50,000 bonus (10%). Gross salary = ₹4,50,000. Professional tax is ₹2,400 per year (₹200/month). EPF on the ₹15,000 wage ceiling is 12% each for employee and employer—₹1,800 per month or ₹21,600 per year each. With ₹2,000 per year for employee insurance, total deductions = ₹47,600 and take-home salary = ₹4,02,400 per year (about ₹33,533 per month).
Components of a typical salary structure
- Basic salary — usually 40–50% of CTC; basis for PF and gratuity.
- House Rent Allowance (HRA) — partially exempt if you pay rent.
- Professional tax — state levy, capped at ₹2,500 per financial year.
- Employee PF — 12% of basic + DA (subject to wage ceiling rules).
- Employer PF — 12% of employer side; part goes to EPS pension scheme.
- Bonus — variable component; excluded from gross when estimating recurring take-home.
How to use this salary calculator
Enter annual CTC and bonus percentage, then fill monthly professional tax and PF amounts. Use ₹1,800 per month for each PF leg when basic is above ₹15,000 and standard EPF rules apply. Add optional monthly deductions for insurance, NPS, or other cuts. Results update instantly.
What this calculator does not include
Income tax (TDS under Section 192), surcharge, cess, HRA or LTA exemptions, variable pay timing, arrears, ESOP, gratuity accrual, and state-specific PT slabs beyond your entered amount are not modeled. Use the EPF calculator for long-term PF corpus projections.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between CTC and in-hand salary?
CTC is the total cost of employing you, including employer PF, gratuity provisions, and bonuses. In-hand salary is what you receive after employee-side deductions such as PF, professional tax, and other cuts—not after full income tax unless you model it separately.
Why is employer PF subtracted from take-home?
This calculator follows the common CTC breakdown view: employer PF is part of your package cost but not paid to you as cash. Subtracting it shows how much of gross salary is not available as liquid take-home, alongside employee PF and taxes.
How is EPF calculated on salary?
Employee and employer each contribute 12% of basic salary plus DA. When basic exceeds ₹15,000 per month, many employers apply PF on the ₹15,000 statutory wage ceiling—12% of ₹15,000 = ₹1,800 per month per side.
Does this calculator deduct income tax?
No. It covers PF, professional tax, and deductions you enter. Use the income tax calculator to estimate net pay after Section 192 withholding and FY 2025-26 slab rates.
