Salary Calculation Formula:
From: | To: |
In-hand salary is the actual amount an employee receives after all deductions like income tax, provident fund (PF), professional tax, and other statutory deductions. For a ₹25 LPA package, the in-hand salary will be significantly lower than the gross amount.
The calculator uses the following formula:
Where:
Income Tax: Varies based on tax regime selected. The new regime has lower rates but fewer deductions, while the old regime allows more deductions but has higher rates.
Provident Fund (PF): Employee contributes 12% of basic salary (up to ₹15,000 basic salary), with employer matching the contribution.
Professional Tax: Varies by state, typically ₹200-250 per month (₹2,400-3,000 annually).
Steps: Select your preferred tax regime (new or old), enter your PF contribution percentage (default is 12%), and select your state for accurate professional tax calculation.
Q1: Which tax regime is better for 25 LPA?
A: The new regime is generally better for those with fewer investments/deductions, while the old regime may benefit those with substantial investments (80C, HRA, etc.).
Q2: Can I change my PF contribution percentage?
A: Typically, employee PF contribution is fixed at 12%, but some organizations allow voluntary higher contributions.
Q3: Why does professional tax vary by state?
A: Professional tax is a state-level tax, so rates differ across states. Some states like Delhi don't have professional tax.
Q4: Are there other deductions not included here?
A: This calculator covers major deductions. Other deductions may include health insurance, meal coupons, or other voluntary deductions.
Q5: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides a good estimate but actual salary may vary based on company-specific salary structure and additional deductions.
