How to read this number
The take-home figure applies a flat effective rate to a modelled gross band, so it is an estimate for comparison rather than a payslip. Bonuses, overtime, shift premiums, benefits and equity all sit outside it. A Bengaluru band and a Mumbai band for the same title can differ by 20–30% for identical experience.
Physician compensation mixes base, productivity and call pay; specialty and setting dominate the band far more than country alone.
