10 LPA in-hand salary: monthly take-home for FY 2026-27
On a CTC of ₹10,00,000 (₹10 lakh a year) the monthly in-hand salary is about ₹73,133 in the new tax regime, assuming basic pay is 50% of CTC and PF is 12% of full basic. If your employer limits PF to the ₹15,000 statutory wage ceiling, take-home rises to about ₹79,533, because less of the CTC goes into PF.
The new regime leaves you ₹62,421 a year better off than the old one even with the full ₹1.5 lakh 80C deduction claimed (PF counts towards it). The highest take-home of the four cases is the new regime, PF on the ₹15,000 cap.
Moving up from ₹8 lakh to ₹10 lakh, you keep about 88% of the extra CTC as take-home in the new regime.
