Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about salary calculations and ForgePlug's Global Salary Calculator

How is net salary calculated from CTC?
Net salary (take-home pay) is calculated by subtracting all deductions from your gross salary. Deductions include income tax, provident fund (PF), professional tax, gratuity, and any other deductions. The calculation varies by country based on local tax laws, social security contributions, and benefit systems. Our calculator uses country-specific tax brackets and deduction rules to give you accurate results.
What is the difference between CTC and gross salary?
CTC (Cost to Company) is the total amount your employer spends on you annually, including your salary, benefits, bonuses, and employer contributions (PF, insurance, etc.). Gross salary is your total earnings before deductions — typically your CTC minus employer contributions. Net salary (take-home) is what you actually receive after all deductions.
Which countries are supported?
We currently support 8 countries/regions: India (🇮🇳), United States (🇺🇸), United Kingdom (🇬🇧), Canada (🇨🇦), Australia (🇦🇺), Singapore (🇸🇬), UAE (🇦🇪), and a general 'Other' option. Each country has tailored tax brackets, social security systems, and form fields that match local payroll practices.
How accurate are the tax calculations?
Our tax calculations use the latest tax brackets and rates for each country (2025-26 tax year where applicable). However, individual circumstances vary — we recommend using this as an estimate and consulting a tax professional for precise calculations. The calculator does not account for every possible deduction, exemption, or credit available in your specific situation.
Is my salary data secure?
Absolutely. All calculations happen entirely in your browser — your salary data never leaves your device. We don't have servers, don't store your data, and don't track your calculations. You can even use the app offline after the initial page load. Your privacy is our priority.
What is the 50/30/20 budget rule?
The 50/30/20 rule is a simple budgeting framework: 50% of your after-tax income goes to needs (housing, food, utilities, transportation), 30% to wants (entertainment, dining out, travel), and 20% to savings and debt repayment. Our budget planner automatically applies this rule to your net income and provides personalized recommendations.
How is loan eligibility calculated?
Loan eligibility is estimated based on your net income, existing debt obligations, and debt-to-income (DTI) ratio. Lenders typically prefer a DTI ratio below 36%. We calculate maximum affordable loan amounts for mortgages, car loans, and personal loans using standard financial formulas and conservative interest rate assumptions.
Can I compare two job offers?
Yes! Our job comparison feature lets you compare two job offers side-by-side. Enter details for Offer A and Offer B, and we'll compare gross salary, net salary, tax burden, benefits, retirement contributions, and more. The system highlights the better option in each category and provides an overall comparison score.
