Quick answer: in-hand salary on ₹12 lakh

A ₹12,00,000 annual salary with 40% basic and PF has a monthly take-home of about ₹95,000.00 under the new tax regime — income tax is nil after the rebate.

Overview of the Take Home Paycheck Calculator

Your take-home pay is what lands in your bank account after deductions. This calculator starts from your gross annual salary, deducts the employee provident fund (12% of basic, optionally limited to the ₹15,000 wage ceiling), professional tax and an estimate of income tax under the new or old regime, plus any other monthly deductions.

Your actual in-hand pay depends on your employer's salary structure, TDS calculations and variable pay. Compare regimes in the Income Tax Calculator and convert pay periods with the Salary Calculator; plan your spending with the Budget Calculator.

How We Calculate

The calculator applies the standard financial formulas step by step.

  1. Employee PF = 12% of basic salary (basic = a percentage of gross), optionally capped at 12% of ₹15,000.
  2. Income tax: apply the FY 2026-27 slabs after the standard deduction (and old-regime deductions if chosen), then rebate, surcharge and 4% cess.
  3. Professional tax is a state-specific annual amount (often up to ₹2,500).
  4. Monthly take-home = (gross − PF − professional tax − income tax) ÷ 12 − other monthly deductions.
take-home = (gross − PF − PT − tax) ÷ 12 − other deductions
