1. What is CTC Hike Calculation?

CTC (Cost to Company) hike calculation determines the salary increase amount based on a given percentage. It helps employees and employers understand the monetary value of a salary increment and the new total compensation package.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the hike calculation formula:

\[ \text{Hike Amount} = \text{CTC} \times \left( \frac{\text{Hike \%}}{100} \right) \]

Where:

\( \text{CTC} \) — Current Cost to Company (currency)
\( \text{Hike \%} \) — Percentage increase in salary
\( \text{Hike Amount} \) — Monetary value of the salary increase

Explanation: The formula calculates the actual monetary increase by applying the percentage hike to the current CTC, providing a clear understanding of the salary increment's financial impact.

3. Importance of CTC Hike Calculation

Details: Accurate hike calculation is essential for salary negotiations, financial planning, and understanding the real value of compensation increases. It helps both employees and employers make informed decisions about salary structures and budget allocations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter current CTC in your local currency and the hike percentage you expect or have been offered. The calculator will show both the hike amount and the new total CTC after the increase.
