What does CTC or 'Cost to Company' mean?

Cost-to-Company

Cost to Company (CTC) is a term used to describe an investment without return. Travel expenditures, interviewing, spending time with potential customers can all be interpreted as CTC's.

Cost to Company can also be used to refer to the total cost that an organization is spending towards their employee including the Salary, Perks, Cost related to benefits, Cost related to hiring, Training, Retirals, Statutory Contributions etc.

Here is more input:

• Cost to Company is a buzz word to describe how the company can slowly pay you less and less, and remove all your benefits, until you are "self funded" - in other words you pay for all your "benefits" yourself, while the company receives the tax benefits for these payments. This improves their profit ratio, and if this system is extrapolated, you will eventually pay the company to work there. So you'll need a second job to fund this. :-)

• CTC - Cost to company is a trick of a company and HR department, to show we are paying a big salary, but unfortunatly it is just bubble. They overload total expences of human resorces on salary, and show that they are paying this much salary to the staff. but actualy they pay less and show more. For example....your salary is 6.00 Lacs p.a. Means ... you are getting 50,000/- per month. But actuly person gets only 25,000/- per month...all other money is deducted for facilities.. Means we are paying for getting facilities, but company shows they are giving us good facilities in the organization. In short, we pay from our salary for getting facilities, but company says they are giving good facilities to there staff. So you are paying for even unwanted facilities which you dont need. Before deciding CTC, ask for breakup of facilities.
