Salary hike calculator
A 30% hike on CTC isn't 30% more in your account. See the real monthly difference.
Your hike
25% hike
₹3,00,000 more a year on CTC; ₹17,343 more in hand each month.
| Item | Now | New |
|---|---|---|
| Annual CTC | ₹12,00,000 | ₹15,00,000 |
| In hand a month | ₹93,792 | ₹1,11,135 |
In-hand assumes basic at 50% of CTC, PF on up to ₹25,000, the new tax regime and no variable pay. Use the in-hand calculator for your exact structure.
How it's worked out
Hike % = (new CTC − current CTC) ÷ current CTC × 100.
The monthly figure runs both CTCs through the in-hand calculator: PF, professional tax and income tax take a bigger share as you earn more, so the take-home rises by less than the CTC.
Comparing offers? Check variable pay, joining bonus and notice buyout too; a fixed-pay hike is worth more than one that depends on a bonus.
