What Goes Into CTC
Three layers: what the employee sees, what the company pays on top, and the annual one-time benefits.
Goes on the payslip. The employee\'s gross.
Employer pays these on top — invisible to the employee but real cost to the company.
One-time annual amounts: insurance premium and target variable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is CTC?
Cost to Company — the total annual amount an employer commits to spend on an employee, including everything beyond take-home pay: allowances, social contributions, EOSB accrual, insurance and benefits.
How is CTC different from gross salary?
Gross is what appears on the payslip (basic + allowances). CTC adds the company-side costs the employee never sees: employer social contribution, end-of-service accrual, medical insurance, visa fees.
Why split into basic and allowances?
Statutory benefits (EOSB, social security, leave encashment) are calculated on basic salary only in most Middle East countries. Lowering basic and increasing allowances reduces statutory cost but can hurt the employee's end-of-service entitlement.
What is a typical basic-to-allowance ratio?
In the UAE and KSA: basic is usually 50–60% of gross. The remaining 40–50% splits as housing 25%, transport 10%, other 5–15%. Egypt typically uses 70–80% basic.
Does CTC include bonus?
It can. Some companies include target variable / bonus in the CTC headline; others quote fixed CTC + on-target bonus separately. Our calculator treats bonus as an optional add-on.
