Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between CTC and In-Hand Salary?▼
CTC (Cost-to-Company) is the total annual expenditure an employer incurs on an employee, including non-cash benefits, employer EPF contributions, and gratuity accruals. In-Hand Salary (take-home pay) is the actual net cash deposited into the employee's bank account each month after subtracting all employee-side and employer-side deductions.
How is EPF calculated on my salary?▼
The Employee Provident Fund deduction is 12% of your Basic Salary plus Dearness Allowance. The employer also contributes 12%, which is split between the EPF (3.67%) and the Employee Pension Scheme (8.33%).
What is the standard deduction for salaried employees?▼
For FY 2024-25 (AY 2025-26), the standard deduction for salaried individuals is ₹75,000 under the New Tax Regime (Section 115BAC) and ₹50,000 under the Old Tax Regime.
Why is my monthly take-home salary less than CTC divided by 12?▼
Because CTC includes employer-side EPF contributions, annual bonus components, medical insurance premiums, and gratuity accruals, while monthly gross pay is further reduced by employee EPF, professional tax, and income tax TDS.
Can I choose between the Old and New Tax Regimes every year?▼
Yes. Salaried employees with no business income can switch between the Old and New Tax Regimes each financial year when submitting their investment declaration to employer payroll and when filing their annual ITR.
Is my salary information saved on ToolMela?▼
No. All salary deconstructions and tax calculations execute locally inside your browser. ToolMela never collects, stores, or transmits your confidential compensation data.

ToolMela is built and maintained by a small independent team in India. Every tool here is written and hosted by us rather than embedded from somewhere else, and the description on each tool page is written against what that tool's code actually does — including the badge telling you whether your file is processed in your browser or uploaded to our server. When a tool cannot do what its name promises, we switch it off and say so on the page instead of leaving the claim standing.
