How often is this page updated?

Whenever tax slabs, EPF rules, or a university's published conversion formula change, we update the relevant calculator and this page.

Do you account for regional tax differences?

The calculator applies a flat professional tax estimate; it does not yet vary this by state. We're working on state-specific accuracy.

Is the salary range data reliable for negotiation?

Use it as a starting reference point, not a final number — cross-check against recent offers in your specific role, company tier, and city before negotiating.

Data Methodology

How we calculate the numbers you see

At JobYaar, accuracy is our priority. This page explains, plainly, where our numbers come from and what assumptions go into them — no black boxes.

1. How Our Calculators Work

The take-home salary, CGPA-to-percentage, attendance, and EMI calculators are all formula-based: they apply official, publicly published rules directly, with no external data feed involved. Every calculator shows the exact formula it uses and a worked example on the page itself, so you can verify the math by hand.

2. Tax and In-Hand Calculations

When calculating "in-hand" (take-home) salary from CTC, our calculator applies the published Indian income tax slabs for the New Tax Regime (FY 2026-27), the ₹75,000 standard deduction, the Section 87A rebate, 4% cess, standard 12% EPF contribution assumptions, and a flat ₹2,400/year professional tax estimate. It does not currently account for HRA exemptions or old-regime deductions.

3. Illustrative Salary Ranges

The role/city salary pages on JobYaar show indicative compensation ranges compiled from publicly available job postings and general market reporting. These are estimates meant to give you a directional sense of the market — not a verified, audited dataset — and individual offers can fall well outside the ranges shown. We say this plainly because we'd rather you trust the parts of the site that are precise (the calculators) than overstate the parts that are estimates.
