1. What is Monthly In-Hand Salary?

The monthly in-hand salary is the actual amount an employee receives after all deductions like income tax, provident fund, and professional tax. It represents the net amount credited to your bank account each month.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ \text{Monthly In-Hand Salary} = \frac{\text{Gross Salary} - \text{Income Tax} - \text{Provident Fund} - \text{Professional Tax}}{12} \]

Where:

Gross Salary — Total annual salary before any deductions (INR)
Income Tax — Annual tax deducted at source (TDS) (INR)
Provident Fund — Employee's contribution to EPF (INR)
Professional Tax — State-mandated professional tax (INR)

Explanation: The formula calculates the net annual salary after all deductions and then divides by 12 to get the monthly amount.

3. Importance of Salary Calculation

Details: Understanding your in-hand salary helps in financial planning, loan applications, and budgeting. It provides clarity on your actual take-home pay after all mandatory deductions.

4. Using the Calculator
