Assumptions used for this page

Basic salary = 40% of CTC (₹20,00,000). HRA shown as 50% of basic, as a salary-structure component only — no HRA exemption is claimed in the tax calculation.
PF = 12% of basic, capped at the ₹25,000/month wage ceiling, so PF is ₹3,000/month (₹36,000/year) from both employer and employee.
Gratuity = 4.81% of basic, counted inside CTC. Professional tax = Maharashtra (male), ₹2,500/year — ₹200/month with ₹300 in February.
Old regime assumes the full ₹1,50,000 Section 80C deduction is used. New regime uses the ₹75,000 standard deduction and the Section 87A rebate where applicable. Surcharge is not applied.
Your number will differ if your basic %, state, or PF basis differs — use the full calculator with your own values. Full formulas: methodology page.

Why other websites show a different number for ₹50 LPA

For the same CTC, calculators disagree because they silently choose different basic percentages, PF bases (capped vs full basic) and states. A site assuming basic at 50% of CTC with PF on full basic will show a lower monthly figure than this page; a site ignoring gratuity inside CTC will show a higher one. None of them is "wrong" — they are answering different questions. We publish our assumptions above so you can see exactly which question this page answers.
