Frequently Asked Questions
Get instant answers to common questions about salary calculation, taxes, and deductions
How is PF (Provident Fund) calculated in India?▼
Employee PF contribution is 12% of your basic salary. For example, on a ₹10 LPA CTC, your basic would be ₹4L, and PF deduction would be ₹48,000 annually (₹4,000/month). Your employer contributes an equal amount.
What is professional tax and who pays it?▼
Professional Tax is a state-level tax deducted monthly from your salary. It varies by state: Karnataka (Bangalore) charges ₹200/month, Maharashtra (Mumbai/Pune) charges ₹200/month, Delhi has no professional tax, while Telangana (Hyderabad) and Tamil Nadu (Chennai) charge ₹150/month.
How to negotiate salary effectively in India?▼
Never reveal current CTC first, always have competing offers, use the magic script: 'Based on market research and my skills, I'm expecting ₹[X] LPA.' Research shows people who negotiate earn ₹15-25 lakhs more over their career.
New tax regime vs old tax regime — which is better?▼
The new tax regime (2025) is generally better for most salaried individuals as it offers lower tax rates. However, if you have significant investments (₹1.5L+ in 80C, HRA benefits), the old regime might be better. Use our calculator to compare both.
What is the average salary increase per year in India?▼
Average annual hike is 10-15%, but switching jobs can give you 30-100% increases. High performers get 20-25% annually. The biggest wealth creation happens through strategic job switches every 2-3 years.
