Income Tax Calculator

Most of us don’t think about income tax throughout the year. But as soon as March arrives or ITR filing season starts, the questions begin.

“How much tax do I have to pay?”
“Should I choose the old tax regime or the new one?”
“Will my investments help me save tax?”

There are different tax slabs.
Different deductions.
Different tax regimes.

And a small mistake can lead to paying more tax than required.

Let us understand with an example

Suppose your annual income is ₹12,00,000.

You have eligible deductions.

Depending on the deductions claimed and the tax regime selected, the final tax amount can vary.

This is why two people earning the same salary may end up paying different amounts of tax.
The Income Tax Calculator helps you estimate this quickly and accurately.

Old Tax Regime vs New Tax Regime

One of the biggest questions taxpayers face today is:

“Which tax regime should I choose?”

The answer depends on your income and deductions.

Generally, if you claim significant deductions such as Section 80C investments, HRA, health insurance and home loan benefits, the old regime may be beneficial.

If your deductions are limited, the new regime may result in lower tax liability. The best way to know is to compare both using a calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How do I know whether the old tax regime or new tax regime is better for me?
   There is no single answer. It depends on your income, deductions and exemptions. The easiest way is to calculate tax under both regimes and compare the results.
2. Can two people with the same salary pay different amounts of tax?
   Yes. Tax liability depends on deductions, exemptions, investments and the tax regime selected. This is why two individuals with the same income may end up paying different taxes.

   The calculator provides an estimate based on the information entered. Actual tax liability may vary depending on individual circumstances and applicable tax provisions.
