The Income Tax Calculator helps salaried individuals and self-employed persons in India estimate their annual income tax liability quickly and easily. Whether you are choosing between the Old Tax Regime and the New Tax Regime, this tool helps you compare and decide what is best for your situation.
Under the New Regime, a standard deduction of ₹75,000 is available for salaried employees. Under the Old Regime, deductions like 80C (up to ₹1.5 lakh), HRA, 80D (health insurance), and home loan interest can significantly reduce taxable income.
Assume a salaried person with gross income of ₹12,00,000 per year. Under the New Regime (with ₹75,000 standard deduction), taxable income = ₹11,25,000. Tax = ₹0 + ₹15,000 + ₹30,000 + ₹18,750 = ₹63,750 plus 4% cess = ₹66,300. Under the Old Regime, if they claim ₹1.5L under 80C, ₹25,000 under 80D, and HRA of ₹1.2L, the taxable income reduces considerably — making the Old Regime potentially beneficial.
