CTC – The Foundation Of Your Taxable Income

Cost to Company (CTC) is the base to derive taxable income for salaried individuals. It is an annual employee cost incurred/to be incurred by the company which includes –

  • Basic salary
  • House Rent Allowance (HRA)
  • Other Allowances (medical allowance, transport allowance, etc.)
  • Variable pay (if any)

CTC – Things To Keep In Mind

  • Your CTC is a combination of the direct/monetary benefits, indirect/non-monetary benefits, and employer-employee contribution to PF.
  • CTC is never equal to the amount of take-home salary
  • CTC has many components that one does not receive as part of take-home salary such as:
1

Subsidized Meals & Food Coupons

2

Company Leased Accommodation

3

Life & Medical Insurance premiums paid by employers

4

Travel facility provided by the Company

Levied and minthlydeducted by the state in which an employee has been hired, the amount of tax deducted varies statewise.

Note:
  • Stock options issued, if any, are not considered as part of CTC
  • Various non-monetary benefits are not considered as part of CTC
  • Certain portion of the CTC can be allocated as a bonus
For Example:

Say your Cost To Company (CTC) is Rs 12 lakh. The employer gives you a bonus of Rs 2,00,000 for the financial year. Your total gross salary is Rs 12,00,000 – Rs 2,00,000 = Rs 10,00,000. (The bonus is deducted from the CTC).
