Quick answer: under SalaryExit's default scenario for this page (new regime, state PT placeholder, PF derived from an assumed Basic+DA split), estimated monthly in-hand is roughly ₹39,658.33 before any additional payroll items not modeled here.
₹5 LPA is a common offer for IT graduates after 1–2 years of experience and non-tech professionals in mid-tier roles. At this gross, Section 87A rebate eliminates income tax entirely — only PF and professional tax reduce take-home.
हिंदी में जानकारी
5 LPA का मतलब है ₹5,00,000 सालाना — यानी ₹41,667 प्रति माह (gross CTC)। FY 2026-27 में नई tax regime के अनुसार, अनुमानित in-hand salary लगभग ₹39,658 प्रति माह होती है — employee PF और professional tax काटने के बाद।

Where your monthly gross goes (same numbers as the table)
Annual tax + cess (engine estimate): ₹0.
Band-specific context (not duplicated on other LPA pages). Still illustrative — tune the calculators for your payslip.
Engine warnings: In-hand is an estimate: actual TDS may differ due to proofs, perquisites, arrears, and surcharges. The monthly TDS line is annual tax ÷ 12 for planning — not a payslip TDS schedule.

At lower gross, rent is usually the first lever that swallows savings.
PF, PT, and regime still move the needle before you spend a rupee on rent.
Editorial note. SalaryExit publishes educational estimates with stated assumptions — not tax filing advice, legal opinions, or employer-certified payroll. Read the methodology and disclaimer. FY 2026–27 (AY 2027–28) tax slabs in engine. Site content last reviewed: June 2026. Calculator tax math was last aligned to Union Budget 2026 — no slab changes; new regime slabs from Budget 2025 continue; Section 87A (≤₹12L taxable); std. deduction ₹75,000; cess 4%. Surcharge and marginal relief are not modeled — validate Form 16 and CBDT circulars for filing.
~₹39,600/month under the new tax regime. Income tax is zero (Section 87A rebate covers full liability at ₹5L gross). Deductions: employee PF ₹1,800/month + professional tax ~₹208/month.
Both give zero tax at ₹5 LPA. New regime is better in practice — no paperwork, no investment proof required. Old regime with 80C deductions doesn't reduce an already-zero liability. Stick with new regime unless you have specific high-deduction scenarios.
5 LPA यानी ₹5 लाख (₹5,00,000) सालाना gross CTC। FY 2026-27 में नई tax regime के अनुसार, अनुमानित in-hand salary लगभग ₹39,658 प्रति माह होती है — employee PF (Basic+DA का 12%) और professional tax काटने के बाद। यह एक estimate है; actual payslip आपके employer की salary structure पर depend करती है।
Not always. CTC may include employer contributions and non-cash costs. This page interprets the band as annual gross salary for the illustrated scenario unless you change inputs in the calculator.
Payslips reflect actual TDS smoothing, proofs, perquisites, bonuses, and employer-specific PF definitions. This page shows a single transparent scenario using the centralized engine.
This illustration uses the new regime for a common baseline. Compare regimes explicitly using the tax regime calculator and validate with a qualified professional for filing.
