How to read your take-home estimate

Your in-hand figure is your gross fixed pay minus income tax, provident fund, and professional tax. CTC, by contrast, bundles in employer contributions and conditional variable pay that never reach your bank account — which is why take-home is always lower than the number on your offer letter.

Two jobs with the same CTC can pay different amounts each month. The split between basic and allowances changes your PF, and a large variable component inflates CTC without guaranteeing cash. Read the breakdown above rather than comparing headline CTCs.

The levers you actually control are your tax regime and eligible deductions. Use the regime comparison and breakdown to see which choice leaves more in your pocket for your situation.
