What does your hike actually mean for take-home?

A percentage hike on CTC and a percentage hike on what lands in your account are two different numbers. See both.

Questions people actually ask

Why does my take-home hike lag behind my CTC hike?
Two reasons: a higher Basic means a higher PF deduction (money you don't see monthly, even though it's still yours), and moving to a higher CTC can push more of your income into a higher tax slab.
Is a 10% hike a good appraisal?
That depends entirely on inflation and what you'd get by switching jobs instead — this calculator answers 'what does the hike actually give me,' not whether it's competitive. The job-offer comparison tool is built for that second question.
