1. What Is Cost To Company (CTC)?

Cost To Company (CTC) represents the total amount of money a company spends on an employee in a year. It includes not just the base salary but also employer contributions to National Insurance, pension schemes, and any additional benefits provided.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the CTC formula:

\[ CTC = Salary + Employer NI (15\%) + Pension (min 3\%) + Benefits \]

Where:

\( Salary \) — Base annual salary in GBP
\( Employer NI \) — Employer National Insurance contributions (typically 15% for 2025/26)
\( Pension \) — Employer pension contributions (minimum 3% under auto-enrolment)
\( Benefits \) — Additional benefits value in GBP (health insurance, car allowance, etc.)

3. Importance Of CTC Calculation

4. Using The Calculator
