- The calculator uses Indian formats, slab concepts, and common FY 2025-26 assumptions where relevant.
Common questions
Is take-home salary the same as gross salary?
No. Gross salary is before deductions. Take-home salary is the estimated amount left after tax, professional tax, and other deductions.
Does employer PF affect take-home?
Employee PF reduces take-home when it is deducted from salary. Employer PF may be part of CTC but is not usually paid into your bank account.
Why does state matter?
Professional tax varies by state, so the same gross salary can have slightly different take-home pay.
Can this match my payslip exactly?
It may not match exactly because employer-specific benefits, reimbursements, insurance, arrears, and payroll rules differ.
Should I use monthly salary or annual CTC?
Use this page for monthly gross salary. Use the CTC to in-hand calculator when you are starting from an annual offer letter.
