Employee PF is counted automatically. Total 80C is capped at ₹1,50,000.

Result

Estimate only, not tax or legal advice. Tax rules, rates and limits change and depend on your own situation. Verify this result with a qualified tax professional or the official tax authority before you file, pay or decide.

How it works

CTC is what your employer spends on you. Some of it never reaches you: employer PF, gratuity and insurance. What is left is split into basic, HRA and a balancing special allowance.

Basic = CTC × basic %
HRA = basic × HRA %
Employer PF = 12% of basic (or of ₹15,000 a month if the wage ceiling applies)
Gratuity = 4.81% of basic
Special allowance = CTC − basic − HRA − employer PF − gratuity − insurance
Take-home = gross salary − employee PF − professional tax − income tax

Income tax uses the same slab engine as the Income tax calculator: new regime with the ₹75,000 standard deduction, or old regime with the ₹50,000 standard deduction, professional tax, 80C and HRA. TDS is estimated as one-twelfth of the yearly tax.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my payslip different?

Employers add variable pay, bonuses and reimbursements, may round PF differently and deduct TDS based on your declarations. Use this as a planning estimate.

Is employer PF part of my salary?

It is part of CTC but not paid to you monthly. It goes into your PF account.
