Frequently asked questions
What is the in-hand salary for 98 LPA in India?
On a standard structure under the new regime for FY 2026-27, a 98 LPA CTC yields about ₹5,29,805 per month (₹63,57,660 per year) after PF, professional tax, and income tax, with no additional deductions claimed.
How much income tax is paid on 98 LPA?
About ₹26,30,988 per year under the new regime (an effective rate of 28.8% of CTC), including cess.
Why is the in-hand for 98 LPA less than 98 ÷ 12 lakh per month?
Because ₹6,58,952 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.
