Frequently asked questions
What is the in-hand salary for 42 LPA in India?
On a standard structure under the new regime for FY 2026-27, a 42 LPA CTC yields about ₹2,50,259 per month (₹30,03,103 per year) after PF, professional tax, and income tax, with no additional deductions claimed.
How much income tax is paid on 42 LPA?
About ₹7,62,089 per year under the new regime (an effective rate of 19.5% of CTC), including cess.
Why is the in-hand for 42 LPA less than 42 ÷ 12 lakh per month?
Because ₹2,82,408 of the CTC is employer-side (provident fund, gratuity accrual) and never reaches gross pay, and the remainder bears employee PF, professional tax, and income tax.
Can these numbers change with my deductions?
Yes — rent (HRA), Section 80C investments, NPS, health insurance, and home-loan interest all change the old-regime result. Use the calculator with your actual figures; this guide assumes none.
