What will be the in-hand salary for package of 27 LPA fixed?
As a rough estimate, you can use the following formula:
In-Hand Salary = Fixed Package – (PF + Taxes + Other Deductions)
For the financial year 2022-2023, the tax slab rates for individuals below 60 years of age are as follows:
Up to ₹2.5 lakh: No tax 🚫
₹2.5 lakh to ₹5 lakh: 5% tax 💵
₹5 lakh to ₹10 lakh: 20% tax 💰
Above ₹10 lakh: 30% tax 💸
Additionally, a 4% Health and Education Cess is applicable on the total tax amount.
Now, let’s calculate the in-hand salary step by step:
Step 1: Calculate the taxable income 💼
The taxable income is the salary after deducting exemptions and allowances. For simplicity, let’s assume there are no exemptions or allowances.
Taxable Income = Package – EPF Contribution 💰
Here, EPF contribution is a percentage of the basic salary that is deducted by the employer. Let’s assume a common EPF contribution rate of 12% of the basic salary.
EPF Contribution = 0.12 * Basic Salary
Step 2: Calculate the income tax 💡
To calculate the income tax, we need to apply the tax slab rates to the taxable income.
Income Tax = Taxable Income * Tax Rate 💹
Step 3: Calculate the Health and Education Cess 🏥🎓
The Health and Education Cess is calculated as a percentage of the income tax.
Health and Education Cess = 0.04 * Income Tax
Step 4: Calculate the in-hand salary 🤝💰
The in-hand salary is the salary after deducting the income tax and the Health and Education Cess from the package.
In-Hand Salary = Package – (Income Tax + Health and Education Cess) 💸💼
Now, let’s put the numbers into the calculation:
Let’s assume the basic salary is 40% of the package (27 LPA).
Basic Salary = 0.4 * 27,00,000 = ₹10,80,000
EPF Contribution = 0.12 * 10,80,000 = ₹1,29,600
Taxable Income = 27,00,000 – 1,29,600 = ₹25,70,400
Income Tax:
Up to ₹2.5 lakh: No tax 🚫
₹2.5 lakh to ₹5 lakh: 5% tax 💵
₹5 lakh to ₹10 lakh: 20% tax 💰
Above ₹10 lakh: 30% tax 💸
Tax = (0 + 0.05 * 2,50,000) + (0.20 * 5,70,400) = ₹1,04,080
Health and Education Cess = 0.04 * 1,04,080 = ₹4,163.20
In-Hand Salary = 27,00,000 – (1,04,080 + 4,163.20) = ₹24,91,756.80 💵💼
Please note that this calculation is based on simplified assumptions and tax rates for the specified financial year. Actual in-hand salary may vary depending on the specific components and deductions in your salary package. For accurate figures, consult your employer’s HR department or a tax professional. 📊👩💼👨💼
