What is CTC?

CTC (Cost to Company) is the total amount an employer spends on an employee per year. It includes your salary, allowances, and employer contributions to PF, gratuity, and insurance. CTC is NOT your take-home salary — the in-hand amount is significantly lower after employer contributions (which are part of CTC but not paid directly to you) and employee deductions (PF, tax, professional tax) are removed.

Typically, in-hand salary ranges from 65% to 80% of CTC depending on the CTC level, tax bracket, and employer's salary structure. For example, a 10 LPA CTC translates to approximately ₹70,000-₹73,000 in-hand per month — not ₹83,333.

CTC Breakup Explained

Basic Salary (40-50% of CTC)

The core salary component. HRA, PF, and gratuity are calculated as percentages of Basic. Higher basic = higher PF contribution but also higher tax-exempt HRA.

HRA (40-50% of Basic)

House Rent Allowance. 50% of Basic for metros (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai), 40% for non-metros. Partially tax-exempt if you pay rent.

Employer PF (12% of Basic)

Employer's contribution to your PF account. Part of CTC but goes to your PF, not your bank account. Can be capped at ₹15,000 Basic (₹1,800/month).

Special Allowance

Flexible component = CTC minus all other components. Fully taxable. The "balancing figure" in CTC breakup.

Government vs Private Salary

Government employees have a different salary structure — Basic Pay + DA + HRA + TA from the 7th CPC Pay Matrix. There is no "CTC" concept. Use our CPC Salary Calculator for government employee salary. For income tax comparison, use the Income Tax Calculator.
