Frequently asked questions
Why is the percent different going up and going down?
The percent is always taken from the starting value. Going from 100 to 150 is a 50 percent rise, but going from 150 back to 100 is only a 33 percent fall.
Can I use it for a salary hike?
Yes. Put your old CTC as A and the new CTC as B. To compare the real take-home pay, use the Salary Calculator for both.
