8 LPA in Hand: Monthly Salary After Tax and PF
The short answer

Usually 40% to 50%. Your offer letter's salary breakup shows it.
The part paid only if targets are met. Leave 0 if none.
It depends on your state. Many states take ₹200 a month.
Things the company pays for that you do not receive as cash, such as health insurance or food coupons.

| Cost to company (CTC) | ₹8,00,000 |
| less the company's provident fund | -₹36,000 |
| less gratuity set aside | -₹15,392 |
| Gross salary (what you earn) | ₹7,48,608 |

What this uses, and what it leaves out
- Income tax on the new tax regime, AY 2026-27, as published by the Income Tax Department: slabs from nil up to ₹4 lakh to 30% above ₹24 lakh, a ₹75,000 standard deduction, and no tax up to ₹12 lakh of taxable income (with relief just above it). The 2026 Budget kept these slabs. The old regime and savings deductions are not covered.
- Provident fund: 12% of basic, from you and from the company. The compulsory limit was raised to ₹25,000 a month in September 2026.
- Your payslip can differ: companies split pay in their own way (HRA, allowances, reimbursements) and tax is deducted in monthly parts. Treat this as a good estimate, not tax advice.

Frequently asked questions
Does the PF ceiling apply to every company?
No. Many companies deduct PF on the whole basic pay by choice. The tool has an option for that, and if your company does it, your in-hand will be lower than shown.
How much more do I take home at 10 LPA than at 8?
About ₹16,346 more each month. Two extra lakh in CTC leaves nearly all of it with you, because tax is nil at both levels.
