Frequently Asked Questions

CTC (Cost to Company) is the total annual expense an employer incurs on an employee, including basic salary, HRA, PF contribution, gratuity, insurance, and allowances. In-hand salary is what you actually receive after deducting employee PF (12% of basic), professional tax, and income tax (TDS). On a ₹10 lakh CTC, in-hand is typically ₹70,000–₹75,000 per month. Job offers should always be compared on in-hand salary, not CTC. Use the free Salary Calculator on AbacusHand to calculate your exact result instantly.

Both employee and employer contribute 12% of basic salary to EPF. The employee's 12% is deducted from your take-home salary. On a basic salary of ₹30,000/month, your monthly PF deduction is ₹3,600 and the employer also contributes ₹3,600 (3.67% to EPF, 8.33% to EPS). For basic salaries above ₹15,000, contribution is typically capped at ₹1,800/month unless the employer opts for higher.

On a ₹10 lakh CTC: Basic ≈ ₹4 lakh, HRA ≈ ₹2 lakh, Special Allowance ≈ ₹3.28 lakh, employee PF ≈ ₹21,600/year, Gratuity ≈ ₹19,231/year. After deducting PF and income tax (approximately ₹17,500 under the new tax regime), monthly in-hand is approximately ₹72,000–₹75,000. Actual take-home may vary based on city, tax regime, and company policy. Use the free Salary Calculator on AbacusHand to calculate your exact result instantly.

Professional tax is a state-level tax levied on salaried employees, ranging from ₹200 to ₹2,500 per year. Maharashtra charges ₹2,500/year for salaries above ₹10,000/month. Karnataka charges ₹2,400/year. West Bengal charges up to ₹2,500/year depending on income slab. Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, and some northeastern states do not levy professional tax. It is deducted monthly from salary by your employer. Use the free Salary Calculator on AbacusHand to calculate your exact result instantly.

HRA is typically 40–50% of basic salary — 50% for metro cities (Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai) and 40% for non-metros. On a ₹10 lakh CTC with a basic salary of ₹4 lakh, HRA would be ₹2 lakh (metro) or ₹1.6 lakh (non-metro). If you pay rent, you can claim HRA exemption under Section 10(13A) of the Income Tax Act in the old tax regime, reducing your taxable income.
