Knowledge Base & FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions: inHander vs. AmbitionBox

Clear answers to common questions on CTC structure, take-home calculations, Budget 2024 tax slabs, and Section 87A rebate rules.

Why should I use inHander instead of AmbitionBox to evaluate a job offer?

AmbitionBox calculates high-level average estimates based on user submissions and requires account creation or phone numbers to unlock detailed insights. inHander is a developer-grade compensation calculator that processes your exact offer letter in browser memory, accounting for base pay, HRA, capped EPF, state-wise Professional Tax, and Section 87A tax rebates with zero tracking.

How does inHander handle RSUs and joining bonuses compared to AmbitionBox?

AmbitionBox often lumps 4-year RSU grants or one-time joining bonuses into the top-line CTC number, misleading candidates into expecting inflated monthly salaries. inHander separates guaranteed monthly cash flow from multi-year equity vesting and performance bonuses, showing you the exact net monthly bank credit.

Can I compare multiple job offers side-by-side on inHander?

Yes. inHander includes a dedicated Offer Letter Comparator (`/compare-offers/`) allowing you to compare up to three competing offers (such as a high-base MNC offer vs. a high-equity venture startup offer) with side-by-side net in-hand, tax liability, and benefits breakdown.

Is my offer letter confidential when uploaded to inHander?

Yes, 100% confidential. inHander's OCR parser runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your offer letter PDF or text is never transmitted to any external server, database, or analytics platform.
