Formula & method

Monthly CTC = Annual CTC ÷ 12. Basic = CTC × basic%. HRA = Basic × HRA%. PF (employee) = 12% of Basic (capped at ₹15,000 wage ceiling). In-hand ≈ Gross − PF − Professional Tax.

Examples

  • ₹12,00,000 CTC, 40% basic, 50% HRA on basic → approximate monthly in-hand after PF and PT
  • Higher basic % increases PF deduction but may improve retirement corpus
