New or old regime at ₹50 LPA
Claiming nothing but your own PF under 80C, the old regime would cost ₹11,97,720 a year, ₹2,02,800 more.
Claiming HRA, other 80C investments or other deductions lowers old-regime tax. The analyzer compares both regimes with your actual claims.
What moves your in-hand at this level
- PF basis: monthly Basic here is ₹1,66,667, above the ₹15,000 PF wage ceiling. If PF (yours and the employer's) is worked out on the ceiling instead of the full Basic, in-hand rises by about ₹30,721 a month, because less goes into PF.
- Variable pay: if 15% of the CTC is variable pay, monthly in-hand is about ₹43,000 lower, because variable pay isn't paid monthly.
- A higher CTC: each extra ₹1 lakh of CTC adds about ₹4,948 a month in hand at this level, for the same structure.
