Take Home Salary Calculator: Understand Your Gross vs Net Monthly Pay
When accepting a new job offer or planning monthly household budgets, one of the most crucial figures to understand is your Take-Home Salary (Net Salary). Often, there is a significant difference between the Cost to Company (CTC) or Gross Salary promised by an employer and the actual cash credited to your bank account at the end of the month.
Our Online In-Hand Salary Calculator provides a simplified breakdown of your monthly income after standard statutory deductions like Provident Fund (PF) and Professional Tax (PT).
Gross Salary vs Net Salary: What is the Difference?
- Gross Salary: The total amount paid by the employer before any tax, Provident Fund, or voluntary deductions are removed. It includes Basic Salary, House Rent Allowance (HRA), Special Allowance, and other perks.
- Net Salary (Take-Home Salary): The actual income received by an employee in their bank account after subtracting all essential statutory deductions from the Gross Salary.
Standard Deductions Explained
- Employee Provident Fund (EPF): Generally, 12% of the Basic Salary is deducted monthly towards retirement savings under government regulations.
- Professional Tax (PT): A state-level tax levied on salaried employees, usually ranging between ₹150 to ₹200 per month depending on the state laws.
- Tax Deducted at Source (TDS): Income tax deducted by the employer based on your selected tax regime (Old Tax Regime vs New Tax Regime) and annual slab rate.
