30 LPA in-hand salary: how much do you actually take home?

A ₹30 LPA (₹30,00,000) CTC is approximately ₹1,80,693 per month in-hand. That's about ₹21,68,321 per year after PF, professional tax and income tax under the new regime (FY 2026-27).

If your offer letter says ₹30 LPA, the number that lands in your bank account each month is noticeably lower — because CTC (Cost to Company) bundles in your employer's PF contribution, gratuity, and the taxes deducted before you're paid. For a ₹30 LPA package, the realistic monthly take-home is around ₹1,80,693. Below is the complete breakdown so you know exactly where every rupee goes.

How this is calculated

This calculation assumes the most common Indian salary structure: a basic salary of 50% of CTC, the employer's 12% PF contribution and gratuity (4.81% of basic) counted inside the CTC, and the new tax regime for FY 2026-27 (income up to ₹12 lakh is effectively tax-free via the Section 87A rebate, plus a ₹75,000 standard deduction). Your actual figure can vary by a few thousand rupees depending on your company's structure, your city's professional tax, and any allowances.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the in-hand salary for 30 LPA?

A ₹30 LPA CTC gives an approximate in-hand of ₹1,80,693 per month (about ₹21,68,321 per year) under the new tax regime for FY 2026-27, after employee PF, professional tax and income tax.

How much income tax is paid on 30 LPA?

Under the new regime for FY 2026-27, the income tax (including 4% cess) on a ₹30 LPA salary is approximately ₹3,97,129 per year.

Why is my in-hand lower than 30 LPA ÷ 12?

Because CTC includes your employer's PF and gratuity, which you never receive in cash, and your monthly pay is further reduced by your own PF, professional tax and TDS. So ₹30,00,000 ÷ 12 = ₹2,50,000 on paper, but the real take-home is ₹1,80,693.
