Cost to Company bundles employer PF, gratuity and perks that never hit your bank. Enter whichever annual figure you want to spread across hours — CTC, gross, or in-hand. For a full statutory breakdown, use the In-Hand Salary Calculator first, then paste the annual in-hand figure here.
Manufacturing, retail and many MSME roles still run six-day weeks. The annual package is unchanged, but total scheduled hours rise, so the implied hourly rate falls. Always compare offers using the same days-per-week assumption.
Your payslip pays for public holidays and earned leave even when you are not at your desk. Paid-hours rate divides salary by scheduled paid days; actual-hours rate also removes leave from the denominator to show what each hour at work is worth.
Employees are paid for non-billable time — meetings, training, bench, paid leave. Freelancers should target a higher hourly rate because only a fraction of calendar time is billable. Enter your real billable percentage rather than assuming 100%.
