Figures are based on annual CTC. Actual take-home pay depends on your salary structure and deductions.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter your current annual CTC.
  2. The hike is preset to 20% — change it any time to compare other percentages.
  3. Read the new CTC, annual increase and monthly difference.

Formula

New CTC = Current CTC × 1.20

Worked example

₹10,00,000 × 1.20 = ₹12,00,000 (12 LPA). Annual increase ₹2,00,000; monthly equivalent rises from ₹83,333 to ₹1,00,000.

Assumptions

  • The 20% applies to the full annual CTC you enter.
  • Monthly figures are the annual amount divided by twelve.

Limitations

Taxes, PF and salary structure are not modelled here, so treat the result as a comparison figure rather than a take-home projection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a 20% hike on my salary?

Multiply your current CTC by 1.20. For example, ₹10,00,000 becomes ₹1,200,000.

Is a 20% hike good?

It is a healthy raise that most often accompanies a job change or a band movement rather than a routine appraisal.

Will my in-hand salary also rise by 20%?

Not exactly. Part of a CTC increase can go into employer PF, gratuity or variable pay, and higher income can attract higher tax deductions.
