Take-Home Salary Calculator
Estimate the money you actually take home after recurring deductions and taxes.
What is Take-Home Salary Calculator?
A take-home salary calculator converts your annual Cost to Company (CTC) into exact monthly in-hand cash by deducting Employee PF, Employer PF, Gratuity, Professional Tax, and Income Tax TDS under Old and New Regimes.
Financial calculators are useful because they turn assumptions into numbers you can compare. Instead of guessing, you can test different values for amount, time horizon, expected rate, and goal requirements to understand how the final result changes before you commit.
How this calculator works
Monthly In-Hand = [Gross CTC − Employer EPF (12% of basic) − Gratuity allocation − Employee EPF − Professional Tax − Monthly Tax TDS] / 12.
Worked example
A CTC of ₹15,00,000 per annum results in an in-hand monthly salary of approximately ₹98,500 in the New Tax Regime after standard deduction, EPF, and tax TDS.
Most common mistakes people make
- Dividing annual CTC by 12 and expecting that amount in your bank account (ignoring 15%–25% mandatory deductions).
- Overlooking that variable bonus pay is disbursed annually or quarterly, not in regular monthly salary.
- Forgetting that employer EPF contribution is deducted from your CTC package.
- Not claiming HRA and 80C deductions if filing under the Old Tax Regime.
- Ignoring state-specific Professional Tax (typically ₹200/month or ₹2,500/year).
