The CTC Percentage Calculator helps employees and HR professionals calculate the new Cost to Company (CTC) after a percentage-based salary hike. It provides quick and accurate calculations for salary negotiations and compensation planning.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the CTC percentage hike formula:

Where:

• \( Old\ CTC \) — Current Cost to Company
• \( Hike\ \% \) — Percentage increase in salary
• \( New\ CTC \) — Updated Cost to Company after hike

Explanation: The formula calculates the new CTC by applying the percentage increase to the old CTC amount.
