Free CTC calculator: break any annual CTC into Basic, HRA, employer PF, gratuity and special allowance. Design salary structures instantly.
A CTC (Cost to Company) calculator breaks a total annual CTC into its salary components — Basic, HRA, employer PF, gratuity and special allowance. It helps HR teams design salary structures and helps employees understand their offer. Avani Business OS builds and stores these structures for every employee.
CTC includes everything the company spends on an employee: Basic, HRA and other allowances (your gross), plus the employer’s contributions — employer PF (12% of basic), gratuity provision (4.81% of basic), and sometimes insurance or bonuses. Only the gross portion, minus your deductions, reaches your bank account.
Typically Basic is set at 40–50% of CTC, HRA at 40–50% of Basic (metro vs non-metro), employer PF at 12% of Basic, gratuity at 4.81% of Basic, and Special Allowance is the balancing figure that makes the components add up to the total CTC.
Most Indian companies keep Basic at 40–50% of CTC. A higher basic increases PF and gratuity (good for long-term savings) but lowers take-home; a lower basic does the opposite. This calculator lets you adjust the basic percentage to see the effect.
Yes. Avani lets you define salary structures per employee or grade, auto-derives PF/gratuity, and feeds them straight into monthly payroll and salary slips — so the structure you design here is exactly what runs each month.
