CTC calculation is as follows:

There are certain additions and deductions made to get the net pay. It is as follows: let the basic salary be $4000. The P.F. deduction is 12 percent of the basic, which equals 12% * $4000 = $480. D.A. is added; suppose it is 25% of the basic, which equals $1000. Let there be certain allowances that amount to around $4000 (traveling allowance, mobile expense, tiffin, education, etc.). Thus, the net pay will be $4000 - $480 + $1000 + $4000 = $8520, and the CTC will be without any deductions. Therefore, it will be $4000 + $4000 + $1000 = $9000 * 12 = $108000 CTC.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

CTC means everything is included. Whatever the company pays to employees, such as statutory compensation, social security, and future benefits, is also included. If you want to learn more or if your concepts are unclear, please feel free to call me.

Dear Mr. Manjeet,

The Conveyance Allowance of Rs. 800 per month is exempt from income tax, and tax can be saved on House Rent Allowance (HRA) if it is set at 40% of the basic salary. The company can provide additional allowances, but any excess beyond these limits will be taxable as other allowances.

Hi,

The Cost to Company (CTC) includes all that the company pays to the employee. Take the total of basic salary, DA, HRA, other allowances, PF contribution of both employers & employees, and deduct the total of all deductions like the profession tax, ESIC, etc. The net amount multiplied by 12 will give you the CTC.

Cost To Company, commonly referred to as CTC, is calculated based on an Employer's expenditure for acquiring general official or professional services rendered, as mutually agreed upon between the Employer and the Employee. This category includes basic salary/pay, DA, VDA, HRA, Conveyance Allowance, Educational Allowance, Uniform Allowance (including washing Allowance), Refreshment Allowance, Medical or Medicine Expenses, EPF (Employer's contribution of 12%), and any other expenses in accordance with the Organizations' policies. The calculation is done either on a monthly or annual basis.

Dear Cost to company means, what is the cost to company to manage one employee, position dosn't matter when calculating CTC of employee, it may vary person to person and position to position.

For calculating CTC, calculate all direct and indirect costs which the company incurred to manage one employee. It includes Salary, PF, ESI, Mediclaim, PA (if the company provides), Expenses, Perks, Perquisites, Incentives, Bonus, etc. Divide these costs by individual sales.

CTC calculation includes everything that is given to the employee by the employer, as the long form itself is self-explanatory, Cost to Company. Gross salary (Basic salary + HRA + conveyance + medical + LTA + other allowances, this includes all employee PF contribution, ESI contribution, P.T.), Employer PF, ESI contribution, yearly bonus, mediclaim, accidental (it should also be included as it's a cost to the company), mobile allowance (monthly), net allowance (monthly). Anything that is included as a cost to the company towards the employee should come under CTC. Thanks.

Hi Guys,

I need experts' comments on my issue: When PF (both Employer & Employee's) contribution is part of CTC, do we need to reduce the basic as per the number of working days present? If yes, then the employee's CTC will be less than what was committed. Please share your views.

The employee gets an additional amount of LE (Leave Encashment), so the amount should first get deducted against the LE when he/she is absent, and then the basic should be adjusted. Your comments and views are highly appreciated.

Dear Mr. Gaurav,

I am not clear about other industries, but VDA is fixed at Rs. 1307.00 in most of the hotels under the Hotel Industry Notification No. KAE 13 LMW dated 17.07.03. Until March '10, it was Rs. 933.00, but in April '10, it increased to Rs. 374.00. So now the total is Rs. 1307.00. There is no other calculation for VDA in the Hotel Industry, as per my knowledge.
