About this salary breakup
A CTC breakup helps employers and employees understand how annual cost to company may translate into monthly Basic, HRA, allowances, statutory contributions, and estimated take-home pay. This estimator is designed for Indian salary planning and uses editable percentages so it can reflect different company policies.
How it works
The calculator converts annual CTC to a monthly figure, applies your selected Basic percentage, calculates HRA as a percentage of Basic, estimates PF on the selected wage ceiling, and treats the balance as special allowance. Actual take-home can differ after professional tax, income tax, insurance, bonuses, and employer benefits.
- Step 1Enter annual CTC.
- Step 2Adjust Basic, HRA, and PF ceiling.
- Step 3Review monthly components and estimated take-home.
