About the In-Hand Salary Calculator

Our free In-Hand Salary Calculator helps salaried employees in India estimate their exact monthly take-home (net) salary. By breaking down your annual Cost to Company (CTC), this tool deducts mandatory employee provident fund (EPF) contributions, professional tax, and applicable income tax (TDS).

How Take-Home Salary is Computed

Your monthly in-hand salary is determined by subtracting statutory deductions from your gross monthly earnings:

  • Gross Monthly Salary: Your total annual CTC divided by 12 months.
  • Employee Provident Fund (EPF): Generally calculated as 12% of your basic salary.
  • Professional Tax (PT): A state-level direct tax levied on employment (typically capped at ₹2,500 annually in states like Maharashtra or Karnataka).
  • Income Tax (TDS): Computed based on your net taxable income after standard deductions under either the New Tax Regime or Old Tax Regime.

How to Use the Calculator

Simply enter your employment compensation details:

  • Annual CTC: Your total yearly compensation package offered by your employer.
  • Basic Salary: Typically structured as 40% to 50% of your CTC.
  • Professional Tax & Tax Regime: Input your state professional tax and select your preferred tax regime.
