How it works

Quick answer

For ₹15 lakh CTC CTC under the new regime (FY 2026-27, metro), your in-hand take-home is approximately ₹1,11,326/month(₹13,35,912/year). Old regime: ₹98,657/month. The new regime saves you ₹1,52,028.24 per year unless you claim significant deductions (80C, HRA, home loan).

How ₹15 lakh CTC CTC breaks down

₹15 lakh CTC sounds like a large number, but only roughly 89% lands in your bank. Here's where the rest goes (assuming a typical 40% basic structure, metro HRA, new regime):

Employer PF (12% basic): ₹72,000 — part of CTC, not of gross. Builds your retirement.
Gratuity accrual (4.81% basic): ₹28,860 — paid out on exit after 5 years.
Employee PF (12% basic): ₹72,000 — your own retirement contribution.
Professional tax (state): ~₹2,400/year in metros. Negligible.
TDS (annual): ₹89,628 — your annual income tax under new regime.

Comparing offers at ₹15 lakh CTC

Two $₹15 lakh CTC offers can have wildly different in-hand because of structure. A heavy-basic offer (Basic 50%) gives you ₹12,55,757-ish per year because of higher PF; a leaner basic (30%) gives you closer to ₹13,89,348 — but builds less PF for retirement. Always ask for the salary annexure before accepting.
