Frequently asked questions
A ₹5 lakh CTC leaves about ₹35,465 per month — ₹4.26L a year — in hand under the new tax regime, which is roughly 85% of CTC. The gap between CTC and take-home is your employer's PF and gratuity (which never reach your bank), plus your own PF, professional tax and income tax.
On this package the new regime is better: it leaves about ₹35,465/month versus ₹35,465/month on the other — a difference of about ₹0 a year. The old regime here assumes ₹1.50L of deductions (80C etc.); if you can claim more, the old regime improves.
CTC includes money that is never paid to you as salary: the employer's 12% PF contribution and a gratuity provision (~4.81% of basic). After removing those you get gross salary, and from gross your own 12% PF, professional tax and income tax are deducted. What remains is the in-hand figure above.
They are a close estimate on standard assumptions — basic at 50% of CTC, PF at 12% of basic on both sides, professional tax of ₹2,400/year, and (for the old regime) ₹1.50L of deductions. Your actual structure, city, PF opt-outs and declarations will shift it. Use the salary calculator to enter your real numbers.
