One significant factor is your Cost to Company (CTC) package. If you are a salaried employee, you may be familiar with the term. However, understanding what CTC is, how is it calculated, and the effect it can have on your personal loan application process is crucial. It can help you apply for a personal loan amount that is right for you and increase the chances of loan approval. What is CTC? What are its Components?CTC or Cost to Company is the total amount a company spends on an employee in a year. It is a comprehensive amount that includes various components beyond the basic salary. One can view their CTC in their salary slip. Employees must understand what CTC is in their salary slips and its various elements to gauge their total earnings and benefits from their employment.Components of CTCLet\u2019s look at the different components that make up the CTC: Basic Salary: It is the fixed part of your salary; it forms the basis for other calculations, such as provident fund and gratuity.Allowances: Includes House Rent Allowance (HRA), Dearness Allowance (DA), medical allowance, and transport allowance.Bonuses and Incentives: Includes performance-based bonuses, annual incentives, and other rewards.Contributions: Includes mandatory or voluntary contributions like Provident Fund (PF) and gratuity fund. Perquisites: Includes benefits like company car, accommodation, meal coupons, and health insurance.How to Calculate CTC?Now that you know what CTC is in your salary slip, let\u2019s look at how to calculate it. Let\u2019s use a simple illustration for this purpose: 1. Basic Salary: \u20b95,00,000 per annum2. HRA: \u20b92,00,000 per annum3. Medical Allowance: \u20b915,000 per annum4. Transport Allowance: \u20b924,000 per annum5. Bonuses and Incentives: \u20b950,000 per annum6. Employer\u2019s PF Contribution: \u20b960,000 per annum7. Gratuity: \u20b920,000 per annum8. Perquisites: \u20b930,000 per annumTotal CTC = Basic Salary + HRA + Medical Allowance + Transport Allowance + Bonuses + Employer\u2019s PF + Gratuity + PerquisitesTotal CTC = \u20b95,00,000 + \u20b92,00,000 + \u20b915,000 + \u20b924,000 + \u20b950,000 + \u20b960,000 + \u20b920,000 + \u20b930,000So, here the total CTC = \u20b98,99,000 per annum. You can use the above illustration to calculate what your current CTC is. How Does CTC Affect Your Personal Loan Application?Your CTC plays a crucial role in determining your loan eligibility and the amount you can borrow. Here’s how:\u00b7         Loan EligibilityBanks assess your repayment capacity based on what your current CTC is. A higher CTC translates to a higher income. This can increase your chances of loan approval.\u00b7         Loan AmountYour CTC influences the loan amount you are eligible for. A higher CTC often allows you to borrow a larger sum.\u00b7         Interest RatesA healthy CTC may sometimes lead to more favourable interest rates on your personal loan.Hence, when you apply for a personal loan, banks will probably ask, “What is your current CTC?”. This information helps the bank evaluate your financial stability and determine the loan terms it can offer. To make your repayment strategy more effective, consider using a Personal Loan Calculator from IndusInd Bank.
