Quick explanations for entering your information and understanding the estimate.
This calculator is designed for Tax Year/FY 2026–27 under the Income-tax Act, 2025, as amended by the Finance Act, 2026.
Enter annual amounts for the entire financial year. For example, if your monthly basic salary is ₹1,00,000, enter ₹12,00,000.
The new regime has lower slab rates but permits fewer deductions and exemptions. The old regime allows eligible deductions such as employee PF, health-insurance premiums, HRA and specified investments. The calculator compares both automatically.
A resident individual can receive a rebate that reduces ordinary slab tax to zero when total income does not exceed ₹12 lakh. For an eligible salaried taxpayer, the ₹75,000 standard deduction can effectively make salary up to ₹12.75 lakh tax-free, assuming there is no other income or special-rate income.
No rebate is allowed against tax charged at special rates, such as specified capital gains. Special-rate income also counts when checking whether total income exceeds the ₹12 lakh eligibility limit.
Marginal relief prevents a resident individual with income slightly above ₹12 lakh from paying more ordinary tax than the amount by which total income exceeds ₹12 lakh. For example, at taxable income of ₹12.10 lakh, income tax before cess is limited to approximately ₹10,000.
The calculator automatically applies ₹75,000 under the new regime and ₹50,000 under the old regime, limited to eligible salary or pension income.
Your employee PF contribution can qualify within the old-regime ₹1.5 lakh deduction basket but does not reduce new-regime taxable income. Employer PF is generally excluded from taxable salary within the applicable employer-retirement contribution rules.
Eligible employer NPS is included in salary and then allowed as a deduction within the applicable percentage limit. Under the new regime, this calculator applies a limit of 14% of basic salary plus eligible DA.
Under the old regime, premiums for you, your spouse and dependent children have a separate ₹25,000 or ₹50,000 limit from premiums paid for parents. The higher limit applies when the relevant insured group includes a senior citizen.
The calculator deducts municipal taxes actually paid, applies the statutory 30% deduction to net annual value and then deducts eligible home-loan interest. Old-regime house-property loss set-off is limited to ₹2 lakh; the new regime does not allow that loss to offset salary or other income.
Some capital gains are taxed at special rates and do not follow the normal income-tax slabs. Keeping them separate helps apply the rebate, basic-exemption adjustment, loss set-off and surcharge rules correctly.
Enter the coupon amount already included in salary and the number of eligible meals. The calculator limits the exemption to the lower of coupons received and the meal-based maximum. Entering meals alone does not create an exemption.
Yes. The calculator adds the 4% health and education cess and applies applicable surcharge rates, specified-income surcharge caps and statutory marginal relief.
