What is different at ₹30 lakh
At this level the package structure usually matters more than the total. A large share is commonly variable pay, ESOPs or retention bonuses that this page does not include, so the figure below is what the fixed component alone produces — which is the number worth budgeting against.

Common questions
How much is ₹30 lakh CTC per month?
About ₹2,07,174 a month in hand on the assumptions used here — a 40% basic salary, the new tax regime, and standard PF and professional tax deductions. Dividing ₹30 lakh by twelve gives ₹2,50,000, which is roughly 17% higher than what actually arrives.
Why is the in-hand so much lower than ₹30 lakh?
CTC includes your employer's PF contribution and often gratuity provision and insurance, none of which reach your account. Your own PF, professional tax and income tax then come out of what is left. Here that is about ₹21,600 of employer PF, ₹21,600 of your own PF, and ₹4,68,312 of estimated tax.
Will my payslip match this exactly?
Almost certainly not. Employers structure CTC differently — the basic-pay share varies, some include insurance or meal allowances, and professional tax differs by state. This shows the shape of the deduction rather than your specific payslip, which is why the calculator lets you change every assumption.
Does the tax regime change this?
Yes, sometimes substantially. This page assumes the new regime, which suits people without large deductions. If you claim significant HRA, home-loan interest or 80C investments, run the comparison rather than assuming.
