How to answer “current CTC” on a job application

Last updated: 11 October 2026

Current CTC is your present yearly cost to company: the total your employer spends on you in a year as stated in your offer or appraisal letter, usually fixed pay plus variable pay and employer contributions.

Forms ask it as: What is your current CTC?

How forms ask it

  • One yearly amount, in rupees, sometimes with a currency choice.
  • A breakup into fixed and variable pay, as separate boxes.
  • A text box labelled “Last CTC” on some forms.

How to answer it

  • Use the figure on your latest offer or appraisal letter, so it matches your documents if the employer asks for them.
  • If the form asks for fixed and variable separately, split it the way your letter does.
  • Write the yearly figure, not monthly pay, unless the form asks for monthly.

Questions

Does CTC include PF?

Usually the employer's contribution to your Provident Fund is part of CTC. Your offer or appraisal letter shows what your CTC includes.

Should I include the bonus?

If your CTC as stated in your letter includes a variable or bonus component, yes. Forms with a breakup ask for it separately.

What if I am not working right now?

Give your last CTC if the form asks for it, and say you are not currently employed if there is a place to.
