How is the new salary after hike calculated?

New Salary = Current Salary × (1 + Hike% / 100). If you enter monthly salary, the annual figure is multiplied by 12. The hike amount is New Salary minus Old Salary.

What does the in-hand estimate mean?

The in-hand estimate deducts an approximate 30% for income tax, PF, and other statutory deductions. It is an approximation — your actual take-home depends on your tax slab, deductions, and employer benefits.

Is CTC the same as gross salary?

No. CTC (Cost to Company) includes all components — basic pay, HRA, allowances, PF contributions, gratuity, and perquisites. Gross salary excludes employer PF and gratuity. Take-home (net salary) is after all deductions.

What is a good salary hike in India?
