What is LPA?

LPA means Lakh Per Annum — i.e. salary in lakhs (₹1,00,000) per year. It is the standard way Indian job offers and salary discussions quote annual pay (e.g. 10 LPA = ₹10 lakh per year).

LPA full form

LPA = Lakh Per Annum. One lakh = ₹1,00,000. So 12 LPA = ₹12,00,000 per year (₹1 lakh per month before tax).

How to convert LPA to monthly salary
