What is Take-Home Salary?

Take-home salary (also called In-Hand Salary or Net Salary) is the actual amount you receive in your bank account after all deductions from your CTC (Cost to Company). It's your salary minus PF, income tax, professional tax, and other deductions.

Our calculator provides accurate CTC to in-hand conversion including employee PF (12%), income tax (New & Old regime), professional tax (state-wise), standard deduction (₹75,000 new/₹50,000 old), and complete salary breakup with monthly/annual breakdown.

CTC to Take-Home Salary Calculation Formula

📐 Basic Formula

Step 1: Gross Salary = CTC - Employer PF - Bonus

Step 2: Taxable Income = Gross - Standard Deduction - Employee PF

Step 3: Income Tax = Calculate from tax slabs

Step 4: Total Deductions = Employee PF + Income Tax + Professional Tax

Step 5: Take-Home = Gross Salary - Total Deductions

💡 Example Calculation (₹12 LPA CTC)

Given:

• Annual CTC: ₹12,00,000

• Basic (50%): ₹6,00,000

• HRA (50% of basic): ₹3,00,000

• Special Allowance: ₹2,22,000

• Employer PF: ₹21,600

Calculation:

Gross = ₹12,00,000 - ₹21,600 = ₹11,78,400

Employee PF (12% of ₹15K × 12) = ₹21,600

Taxable = ₹11,78,400 - ₹75,000 - ₹21,600 = ₹10,81,800

Income Tax (New Regime) = ₹81,734

Professional Tax (MH) = ₹2,500

Result:

Total Deductions = ₹21,600 + ₹81,734 + ₹2,500 = ₹1,05,834

Take-Home = ₹10,72,566/year

Monthly = ₹89,381

  • Higher number (marketing)

In-Hand (Take-Home)

💡 Example: ₹12L CTC = ~₹89K monthly in-hand (approx 74% of CTC)

3. Which is better: Old Tax Regime or New Tax Regime?

It depends on your deductions and investments:

✅ Choose New Regime If:

  • You don't have many tax-saving investments
  • Income below ₹15 LPA
  • Want higher standard deduction (₹75K)
  • Prefer simplicity

✅ Choose Old Regime If:

  • You invest in 80C (₹1.5L limit)

  • Income above ₹15 LPA with deductions

4. How much PF is deducted from salary?

Employer Contribution:

12% of Basic (same cap, but NOT deducted from your salary)

Example:

If Basic = ₹50,000/month (above ceiling)

Employee PF = 12% of ₹15,000 = ₹1,800/month

Employer PF = ₹1,800/month (added to CTC, not your in-hand)
