₹30 Lakh CTC Monthly Salary Breakdown

The annual package equals ₹2.50 L monthly CTC, but CTC is not bank credit. With employer PF included, gross monthly salary is ₹2.38 L. After employee PF of ₹12,000, professional tax of ₹200, and estimated income tax of ₹35,906, take-home is about ₹1.90 L.

Assumptions Behind This Estimate

  • 40% of CTC is basic salary and HRA is 50% of basic.
  • No variable bonus; employer EPF is included in CTC and PF is calculated on full basic.
  • FY 2026-27 new tax regime with the standard deduction.
  • ₹200 monthly professional tax; payroll policies and state rules can differ.

What Changes Your Actual In-Hand Salary?

A lower PF contribution raises current take-home but reduces retirement savings. Variable pay lowers regular monthly credit because part of CTC is paid later. The old regime may produce a different result when you have substantial HRA, 80C, 80D, NPS, or home-loan deductions. Change those inputs above instead of treating this estimate as a payslip guarantee.
