LPA means lakhs per annum. 1 LPA = ₹1,00,000 per year of CTC.

How to use this calculator

  1. Choose whether you know the new CTC or only the offered hike percentage.
  2. Enter your current annual CTC in rupees (8 LPA = 800000).
  3. Enter the new CTC or the hike percentage.
  4. Read the hike percentage, increase and monthly equivalent in the result card.

Formula

Hike % = ((New CTC − Current CTC) ÷ Current CTC) × 100

New CTC = Current CTC × (1 + Hike % ÷ 100)

LPA = Annual CTC ÷ 1,00,000

Worked example

Moving from ₹8,00,000 (8 LPA) to ₹10,00,000 (10 LPA) is an increase of ₹2,00,000. That is a 25% hike, and the monthly CTC equivalent rises by about ₹16,667.

Assumptions

  • Both figures are annual CTC on the same basis, including variable pay if applicable.
  • Monthly equivalents divide the annual amount by twelve.

Limitations

CTC composition varies between employers. Two identical CTC numbers can produce very different take-home salaries depending on PF, gratuity, insurance and variable pay. Use this as a comparison tool, not a take-home estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does LPA mean?

LPA stands for lakhs per annum. 1 LPA equals ₹1,00,000 of annual CTC, so 8 LPA is ₹8,00,000 per year.

How do I calculate the hike from 8 LPA to 10 LPA?

The increase is ₹2,00,000. Divided by ₹8,00,000 and multiplied by 100, that is a 25% hike.

Should I compare offers on CTC or in-hand salary?

Compare both. CTC tells you the headline package, but the split between fixed pay, variable pay and benefits decides how much actually reaches your account each month.

Does a higher CTC always mean higher monthly salary?

No. A package with a large variable or joining bonus component can have a higher CTC but a similar monthly fixed salary.
