Why CTC ≠ take-home

The gap that surprises new hires

CTC includes employer PF, gratuity provisions and allowances the employee never sees in their bank. A ₹12 L CTC often lands around ₹80–90k/month in hand, not ₹1 L — set expectations at offer time to avoid awkward first paydays.

For most salaries under ₹12 L, the new tax regime now wins for employees who don't have large 80C investments. Use the toggle to compare.
