How It Works
When you receive a promotion or switch jobs, evaluating the true value of your new offer involves more than just looking at the top-line CTC (Cost to Company). A 30% hike in CTC doesn't always translate to a 30% increase in your monthly in-hand salary.
Our calculator helps you break down the numbers. By analyzing your old and new salary structures, it calculates the exact percentage increase in both your gross CTC and your net take-home pay. It accounts for changes in variable pay components, increased PF contributions (which scale with basic pay), and potential shifts in your tax bracket.
Understanding the difference between the CTC hike and the in-hand hike is crucial for negotiating job offers effectively and planning your personal finances around your new income level.
