Understanding CTC to In-Hand Salary Calculator

It then provides a detailed breakdown of the monthly and annual net take-home salary.
What is Salary?
The employer makes regular payments to the employee for the work done. Such regular payment is termed as the salary. The employment contract specifies the wages, usually made each month. The components of the salary structure are:
- Basic Salary: Fixed component, typically 35-50% of CTC
- House Rent Allowance (HRA): For accommodation expenses
- Conveyance Allowance: For travel expenses
- Medical Allowance: For healthcare expenses
- Special Allowance: Variable component to make up CTC
- Provident Fund: Retirement savings contribution
- Gratuity: Long-term service benefit
- Bonuses: Performance-based rewards
How to Calculate Take-Home Salary
To calculate the take-home salary, you must enter the Cost To Company (CTC) and the bonus, if any, as a fixed amount or a percentage of the CTC.
Step-by-Step Calculation:
- Start with CTC: Your total annual package
- Subtract Bonus: If bonus is separate from regular salary
- Calculate Gross Salary: CTC minus bonus
- Calculate Deductions: EPF, Professional Tax, Insurance, etc.
- Get Take-Home: Gross Salary minus Total Deductions
Example Calculation:
For example, your Cost To Company (CTC) is ₹8 lakh. The employer gives you a bonus of ₹50,000 for the financial year. Then your total gross salary is ₹8,00,000 – ₹50,000 = ₹7,50,000 (the bonus is deducted from the Cost to Company).
Gross Salary = ₹8,00,000 – ₹50,000 = ₹7,50,000
Deductions Calculation:
- Professional Tax: ₹200 × 12 = ₹2,400
- EPF Employee Contribution: 12% of ₹1,80,000 (basic) = ₹21,600
- EPF Employer Contribution: 12% of ₹1,80,000 = ₹21,600
- Employee Insurance: ₹3,000 (estimated)
Total Deductions = ₹2,400 + ₹21,600 + ₹3,000 = ₹27,000
Take Home Salary = ₹7,50,000 – ₹27,000 = ₹7,23,000

Understanding Key Terms
CTC vs Take Home Salary
CTC, or Cost to Company, represents the total salary package including all monetary and non-monetary benefits provided to an employee by the company without tax deductions. Take Home Salary, on the other hand, is the net amount an employee receives after all essential tax and other deductions have been subtracted.
Basic Salary
Basic salary is the fixed base component of an employee's overall compensation package. It typically accounts for 35-50% of the total gross salary and is subject to taxation. While there is no universal formula for calculating basic salary, it is generally determined based on the employee's job title and industry. Ultimately, the employer has the discretion to set the exact amount of basic salary.
Gratuity
Gratuity is a monetary reward provided by an employer to an employee for their service. To qualify for gratuity, an individual typically needs to have worked for a minimum of 5 years with the organization. Exceptions to this rule include cases of an employee's death, disability from an accident, or illness, where gratuity may be paid before the completion of 5 years.
Common Salary Components Explained
Mandatory Deductions
- Employee Provident Fund (EPF): 12% of basic salary for retirement savings

How FTaxCo Salary Calculator Works
Bonus Calculation
The FTaxCo Salary Calculator calculates the take-home salary based on whether the bonus is a fixed amount or a percentage of the CTC. If you enter the bonus as a percentage of the CTC, the calculator will calculate the performance bonus as a percentage of the cost to the company. If you enter a fixed amount, the calculator considers this figure the performance bonus.
Deduction Process
The FTaxCo Salary Calculator asks you to enter the bonus as a percentage of the cost to the company or a fixed amount to calculate the performance bonus. It subtracts the performance bonus from the cost to the company to give you the gross pay. The calculator then deducts professional tax, employer PF, employee PF, and employee insurance from the gross pay to display the net pay.
