Confused About CTC vs. Monthly Package in My Job Offer – Can Someone Explain?

Dear All,

I have received an offer letter from one of the leading engineering companies, and my monthly package is Rs. 20,000, which does not include a bonus. However, I am not clear about the difference between CTC and Monthly Package. Please clarify this for me.

With regards,
Dev

Hi Dev,

Your monthly package is your salary per month (PM), and CTC (Cost to Company) is always annually. You will need to inquire whether 20,000 will be your gross salary or take-home salary. Please obtain this clarification from the company.

Feel free to ask for any other clarifications.

Hi,

CTC means Monthly Gross Salary + Other Benefits & Perquisites + Bonus component. Monthly Gross generally includes BASIC + HRA + Any other allowances. So, if your Monthly Gross is 20K, then your CTC will be 2.4 lacs if that organization does not have any other benefit, or it will be 2.4 lacs + cost of other components or benefits offered or applicable to you.

Hope this clarifies.

Dear dev,

MONTHLY PACKAGE IS WHAT YOU ARE PROMISED WITH IN YOUR CASE RS. 20,000.00. IN CASE OF CTC (WHICH CAN BE MEASURED ON A MONTHLY BASIS TOO), THE EMPLOYER IS SHOULDERING THE MONETARY LIABILITIES DUE TO THE OCCURRENCE OF ONE POST WHERE YOU ARE CURRENTLY, SUCH AS SALARY, PROVIDENT FUND (IF APPLICABLE), BONUS (IF APPLICABLE BECAUSE IT DEPENDS ON THE EMPLOYER TO PAY YOU AS THE UPPER LIMIT TO PAY THE BONUS IS RS. 3,500/- BASIC), GRATUITY, LEAVE WITH WAGES, UNIFORM, CANTEEN, VARIOUS INCENTIVES, TRAINING COST, INFRASTRUCTURE COST, MEDICAL EXPENSES, INSURANCE, PETROL, TRANSPORT.

ALL OF THESE ARE INCLUDED FROM THE EMPLOYER'S POINT OF VIEW BECAUSE HE IS SHOULDERING ALL EXPENSES.

REGARDS,

Cost To Company (CTC) will always be on a yearly basis. It's the total monetary benefit that you are going to receive from the company.

Hi Dev,

Monthly CTC and monthly package are both the same. It means your salary along with the cash value of all the fringe benefits. Some companies do not include a bonus in the CTC, while some include it. Therefore, regarding the bonus issue, you have to get in touch with your HR.
