How In-Hand Salary is Calculated (Indian Payroll Standards)

Converting Annual CTC (Cost to Company) into your actual monthly take-home follows three statutory computation stages:

1Salary Restructuring

Employer PF (12% of Basic) is subtracted from total CTC to determine your Gross Salary. This gross figure is apportioned into Basic Pay (40%–50%), HRA, and Special Allowance.

2Payroll Deductions

Mandatory employee withholdings are deducted monthly: Employee Provident Fund (12% of Basic under EPF Act) and State Professional Tax (₹200/month in MH/KA/TN).

3TDS & Monthly Credit

Income tax is computed under the New Tax Regime after applying the ₹75,000 standard deduction. Net monthly in-hand is credited directly to your bank account:Monthly Net = (Gross − PF − PT − Annual TDS) ÷ 12
