COST TO COMPANY (CTC) and TAKE HOME SALARY

Hey Guys today I am goanna talk about "cost to company" and "take to home salary"

CTC/Cost to Company mean the expense incurred by the company to maintain its employee.

For example consider the table given below

Basic Salary                          : 4,80,000

DA                                       : 12,000

HRA                                     : 96,000

Conveyance Allowance         : 12,000

Overtime Allowance              : 12,000

Medical Reimbursement        : 15,000

Total Salary                          : 6,75,000

PF-Company's contribution  : 57,600

Annual CTC                         : 7,32,000

Monthly CTC                       : 61,050

Be conscious that different companies calculate CTC in different ways but Take home salary will always be much less than the CTC.

Some facts which determines the CTC are as below

* Some IT Companies include employee's training cost in CTC

* In Bank's, they provide subsidy in interest for their employees in such cases they include this in CTC

* Performance Bonus also comes under CTC

* Group life insurances and Medical Insurance Come under CTC

* The Canteen expenses and Entertainment benefits come under CTC

* Gratuity given by companies comes under CTC. Gratuity is a type of bonus given by companies when its employee resigns or Retire. An employee will be eligible for gratuity if he/she works with the employer for five years.

* Tax liabilities: Company calculates the taxes payable by Employee which is Income tax, Professional tax etc and pays by the company and include in CTC

* Contribution to Provident Fund: There two types of Contribution to PF. Contribution by employer and contribution by Employee. In which the contribution of employer comes under CTC. Normally the PF contribution is 12% of the Basic Salary. So the Company will put 12% of employee's Basic salary in his/her PF in addition to the employee's contribution which is also 12% of Basic Salary.
