FAQ
How do I find the CTC for a target take-home, for free?
Enter your desired monthly in-hand and this page solves for the CTC whose computed take-home matches it, using the same standard structure as the CTC-to-in-hand tool — on your device with no upload.
Why is the CTC much higher than my in-hand × 12?
Because CTC bundles the employer's contributions and your deductions on top of take-home. The gap is normal; the tool quantifies it for negotiation.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is transmitted or stored, which you can verify by turning off your Wi-Fi.
How accurate is it?
It is an estimate that inverts a standard structure, so it lands close to a typical offer. Real numbers depend on the employer's exact components.
Limits
Estimates from a standard structure and the new tax regime; actual offers vary. Pending HR/CA review (U7).
