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 ₹64,658.33 before any additional payroll items not modeled here.
At the ₹8 LPA band, PF and professional tax still move the needle on take-home. This page fixes a single transparent scenario so you can sanity-check recruiter numbers before you plug your own Basic+DA and state PT into the calculator.
हिंदी में जानकारी
8 LPA का मतलब है ₹8,00,000 सालाना — यानी ₹66,667 प्रति माह (gross CTC)। FY 2026-27 में नई tax regime के अनुसार, अनुमानित in-hand salary लगभग ₹64,658 प्रति माह होती है — employee PF और professional tax काटने के बाद।
How SalaryExit calculates estimates (methodology, FY scope, and limits).
Eight LPA is a realistic first-job or early-career number in many Indian cities and sectors. After PF and a state PT placeholder, the in-hand estimate above is what typically hits your bank account before any rent, food, transport, or other fixed expenses. The gap between this and what your recruiter quoted as CTC is not hidden fees — it is statutory and policy-driven deductions.
At this income band, PF deductions (roughly ₹3,600–4,000/month depending on your Basic+DA) are proportionally significant. Choosing to contribute more via VPF reduces in-hand further but builds a tax-efficient retirement corpus. If your employer has no PF (exempted establishment or contractual role), your in-hand will be higher but you will need to manage retirement savings separately.
Income tax at ₹8 LPA gross under the new regime is effectively zero after the Section 87A rebate (FY 2026-27) — so TDS should be minimal or nil if your employer has set it up correctly. If you are seeing unexpected TDS at this level, check whether your employer has your regime declaration on file.

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: July 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.
At ₹8L gross under the new regime, the Section 87A rebate (up to ₹60,000 under FY 2026-27) covers the full income tax liability at this gross — effective tax is nil. Your TDS should be minimal or zero if your employer has your regime declaration on file.
The main levers are PF wage definition (if your Basic+DA is lower, PF deduction is lower) and professional tax (varies by state — some charge less than the ₹2,500 placeholder here). Income tax is already nil at this gross under the new regime, so there is no tax saving available there.
₹8 LPA is common for engineers with 1–3 years of experience, junior analysts, or early-career finance and ops professionals in metro cities. In tier-2 cities it can represent a senior or lead role. Because effective income tax is nil at this band, the full gross conversion to in-hand depends only on PF and state professional tax.

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.
