Key Components of salary calculator structure in India?

Before I walk you through the calculator, this is what our average Indian salary looks like:

  • CTC (Cost to Company): Total amount spent by the employer. Compensation includes gross salary + other benefits.
  • Gross: CTC minus [All employer contributions like PF and gratuity. Includes basic pay, HRA, and allowances.
  • Dedication: EPF employee share, professional tax (TDS if any), and income tax.
  • Net Salary (In-hand Salary): Gross salary deducted by deductions.

Example:
CTC = ₹10,00,000 per year
Gross Salary ≈ ₹8,40,000 (after removing employer PF, gratuity)
Deductions ≈ ₹1,20,000 (PF, TDS, etc.)
Net Salary ≈ ₹7,20,000

1. CTC / Gross Salary (annual or monthly)

How Does a Salary Calculator Work?

A salary calculator simplifies this math. It takes inputs about your salary and benefits, applies rules (like income tax slabs, PF rules), and shows:

✅ Monthly & yearly gross salary
✅ Item-wise breakup (basic, HRA, allowances)
✅ Statutory deductions (EPF, professional tax, TDS)
✅ Net (take-home) salary

It also helps simulate “what if” scenarios:

  • What if you increase your basic pay?
  • What if you opt for the new tax regime?
  • How much TDS will be deducted?
