- Why does this tool not apply tax automatically?
- Income tax depends on your country, state, filing status, investments, and the current tax year. Hard-coding a rate would produce misleading results for many users, so the tool asks you to enter the tax amount you want to subtract.
- What is the difference between CTC and gross salary?
- CTC includes employer contributions that are part of your compensation but are not paid to you monthly, such as employer PF and gratuity provisioning. Gross salary is what remains after those contributions are removed.
- How is this different from the Salary Calculator?
- The Salary Calculator is a generic tool: you add salary components and deductions directly. This tool starts from an annual CTC and separates employer contributions from employee deductions so you can see the flow from CTC to in-hand.
