At this early-career package, the regular month matters more than an annual average. The illustration uses a 40% basic component, statutory-cap PF and gratuity inside CTC, so employer costs are removed before we estimate bank credit. There is no performance-linked payout in this example; an offer with one can make the usual month lower and one payout month higher.

What this estimate includes

  • ₹3,00,000 annual CTC with no variable pay.
  • Basic pay is 40% of fixed CTC; PF uses the statutory wage cap.
  • Gratuity is included in CTC; ESI is not modeled for this package.
  • FY 2026–27 new regime, resident salary-only taxpayer under age 60.
  • This static illustration excludes professional tax because no work state is attached.

Change these assumptions in the calculator for your actual basic pay, PF policy, state, variable pay and tax regime.
