Formula used
Salary tools split CTC, allowances, deductions and monthly take-home estimates using the fields on the page. Job offer and hike tools compare annual and monthly impact side by side.
Result explained
Look at take-home pay, annual CTC and deductions together. A higher CTC may not always mean proportionally higher monthly cash if variable pay or deductions are large.

Enter the offer or current salary exactly as written, then test another offer with higher variable pay. Compare monthly cash, annual total and stability before deciding.
Assumptions used
- Company policy, PF, bonus payout and tax declaration can change take-home pay.
- Variable pay is not guaranteed unless your offer says so.
- Use payslip or offer-letter values for best estimates.
- Results are rounded for readability and should be verified before major money decisions.
