How this is calculated

Formula

in-hand = gross − employee PF − professional tax − income tax

gross
= CTC − employer PF − gratuity provision (if counted in CTC)
employee PF
= 12% of basic, or of ₹15,000 a month when capped
income tax
= slabs on the taxable income, then rebate, surcharge and 4% cess

With your numbers

  1. 1Gross salaryCTC − employer PF − gratuity₹12,00,000 − ₹21,600 − ₹23,077 = ₹11,55,323
  2. 2Taxable income, old regimegross − standard deduction − HRA exemption − professional tax − 80C₹11,55,323 − ₹50,000 − ₹0 − ₹2,500 − ₹21,600 = ₹10,81,223
  3. 3Taxable income, new regimegross − standard deduction₹11,55,323 − ₹75,000 = ₹10,80,323
  4. 4In-hand, new regime(gross − employee PF − professional tax − tax) ÷ 12(₹11,55,323 − ₹21,600 − ₹2,500 − ₹0) ÷ 12 = ₹94,269

  • The income tax comes from the same engine as the income tax calculator, for the financial year selected.
  • Professional tax follows the state’s monthly slabs on your gross salary.
  • Your PF is still your money: it goes into your EPF account, not to the government. It just does not reach your bank account each month.
