Same CTC, different city — different take-home

Enter your CTC to see your take-home in this city.
Questions people actually ask
- Why does the city matter for take-home, not just cost of living?
- Two reasons: the HRA exemption percentage is higher in the four official metro cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai) than elsewhere, and this tool uses a typical local rent figure to estimate your HRA exemption — both change the tax math, not just your budget.
- How accurate is the 'typical rent' figure?
- It's a rough, indicative 2BHK estimate — not live rental market data. For an exact number, use the CTC calculator directly and enter your actual rent.
