Offer Comparison Calculator
Compare two job offers on fixed monthly take-home salary and approximate first-year cash, including variable pay and joining bonus.
What is the Offer Comparison Calculator?
Two offers with similar CTC can produce very different take-home pay depending on variable pay, bonuses and structure.
How does it work?
Each offer’s CTC is converted to in-hand salary using the same assumptions (basic %, HRA 40% of basic, capped PF, gratuity, ₹2,500 PT). Joining bonus is shown after an approximate 30% tax.
Formula
First-year cash ≈ Take-home + Joining bonus × 0.7
Example
A ₹18 lakh CTC with ₹1.8 lakh variable can have a lower fixed monthly take-home than a ₹17 lakh fully fixed offer.
Frequently asked questions
Is joining bonus taxable?
Yes, as salary. Many offers also require you to repay it if you leave within a year.
