About the Income Tax Calculator (India)
Our Income Tax Calculator helps you estimate your tax liability under both the New and Old tax regimes in India for the current financial year (FY 2024-25, Assessment Year 2025-26). Understanding your tax obligations is a key part of financial planning. This tool simplifies the calculations, including the applicable cess, allowing you to compare regimes and make an informed decision about which one is more beneficial for your income.
The Indian tax system offers two regimes: the Old Tax Regime (with various deductions and exemptions) and the New Tax Regime (with lower tax rates but fewer deductions). This calculator helps you quickly compare the tax outgo under both.
How to Use the Income Tax Calculator:
- Your Annual Income (₹): Enter your total annual taxable income.
- Select Tax Regime: Choose between the 'New Tax Regime (Default)' or the 'Old Tax Regime'.
- Click 'Calculate Tax': The calculator will instantly display your income tax, health & education cess, total tax payable, and net income after tax.
Understanding the Tax Regimes (FY 2024-25):
New Tax Regime (Default from FY 2023-24 onwards):
- Simplified tax slabs with lower rates.
- Most common deductions (like HRA, LTA, 80C, 80D, etc.) and exemptions are not available.
- Standard deduction of ₹50,000 is available for salaried individuals.
- Rebate under Section 87A for taxable income up to ₹7,00,000 (meaning zero tax for income up to this limit).
Old Tax Regime:
- Higher tax rates compared to the new regime.
- Allows taxpayers to claim various deductions and exemptions (e.g., Section 80C for investments, HRA, LTA, interest on home loan, medical insurance premiums under 80D).
- Rebate under Section 87A for taxable income up to ₹5,00,000 (meaning zero tax for income up to this limit).
The choice between regimes depends on your income level and the amount of deductions you can claim. Our calculator helps you quickly see which one saves you more tax.
