This includes both your and your employer's 12% PF part of the CTC and ₹2,400 annual professional tax. Under the old regime, without other deductions, it's ₹82,199 monthly.
How much income tax do you pay on a 12.5 LPA salary?
Under the new regime, you pay ₹0 annually, as taxable income is ₹11,15,000 after the ₹75,000 standard deduction. It does not exceed the ₹12 lakh threshold for the Section 87A rebate. In the old regime, it's ₹1,41,211 before additional deductions.
What is the monthly salary for a 12.5 LPA before any deductions?
Dividing the CTC by 12 gives ₹1,04,167. Your gross monthly salary is ₹99,167 because the employer's ₹5,000 PF each month, included in the CTC, goes into the PF account instead of your salary.
Which tax regime is more beneficial for a 12.5 LPA salary?
The new regime means no income tax on this salary, so it is at least as beneficial as the old regime, no matter your deductions.
What amount of PF is deducted from a 12.5 LPA salary?
Each month, ₹5,000 is deducted, which is 12% of the ₹41,667 basic pay, matched by the employer. If PF is applied only to the ₹15,000 wage ceiling, the deduction is ₹1,800 monthly, increasing in-hand pay to around ₹1,00,367.
