Salary guide

CTC vs gross vs in-hand

These three numbers answer different questions.

CTC

Cost to Company can include cash salary plus employer-side benefits and contributions. It is not the same as the amount credited to your bank.

Gross cash salary

This is the salary cash base before employee deductions and income tax, using the employer structure you actually receive.

In-hand salary

SalaryPath defines in-hand as gross cash salary minus employee EPF, professional tax where applicable and calculated income tax within supported scope.
