Total earnings payable to an employee before employee-specific deductions like income tax, PF, and Professional Tax are applied.
Gross Salary is what an employee earns before their own deductions — income tax, employee PF contribution, and Professional Tax — are taken out. It generally includes basic salary, HRA, special allowances, and any other taxable components, but excludes employer-side contributions like the employer's PF share or gratuity provision.
There's no single statutory formula for calculating Gross Salary from CTC — the exact breakup varies by company, so the actual figure on any payslip should always be checked against that employer's own salary structure rather than assumed.
Formula
Gross Salary = CTC − Employer-Side Contributions and Benefits
