Cost to company

Cost to company (CTC) is a term for the total salary package of an employee, used in countries such as India and South Africa. It indicates the total amount of expenses an employer (organization) spends on an employee during one year. It is calculated by adding salary to the cost of all additional benefits an employee receives during the service period. If an employee's salary is 50,000 and the company pays an additional ₹5,000 for their health insurance, the CTC is ₹55,000. Employees may not directly receive the CTC amount.

Difference between CTC and pay slips

The CTC can include many elements in addition to salary/wages, such as health care, pension and allowances for housing, travel and entertainment. Tax is also deducted from the cash amount the employee receives directly. A hypothetical breakdown of CTC is given below:

Basic salary 2,40,000 2,40,000
House rent allowance 60,000 36,000
Conveyance allowance 8,000 0
