Frequently Asked Questions: Reverse Salary Calculator
How does the reverse salary calculator work?
The reverse salary calculator uses binary search simulation across the Indian income tax slabs, PF, and statutory deduction rules to find the exact annual Cost to Company (CTC) package needed to achieve your target monthly take-home salary.
How much CTC is needed to get ₹1 Lakh in-hand salary per month?
Under the New Tax Regime (FY 2026-27), you need an annual CTC package of approximately ₹14.2 Lakh to ₹14.8 Lakh to receive a clean ₹1,00,000 monthly take-home pay, assuming standard 50% basic pay and 12% employee PF deduction.
How much CTC is needed for ₹50,000 monthly in-hand salary?
Under the New Tax Regime, you need an annual CTC of approximately ₹6.6 Lakh to ₹7.0 Lakh to get ₹50,000 per month in hand, as income tax liability is negligible after Section 87A rebate.
Why is there a gap between CTC and in-hand salary?
CTC includes employer contributions (Employer PF 12%, Gratuity ~4.81%, ESI) plus gross salary. From gross salary, Income Tax (TDS), Employee PF (12%), and Professional Tax are deducted before the net in-hand amount is deposited into your bank account.
