TDS Calculator

You raised an invoice of ₹1,00,000.

A few days later, ₹90,000 gets credited to your account.

The first question that comes to mind is usually:

“Where did the remaining ₹10,000 go?”

The answer is TDS – Tax Deducted at Source.

The same thing happens with salary, professional fees, interest income, rent and many other payments.

A part of the amount gets deducted before the payment reaches you. This is why many people want to know the actual amount they will receive after TDS.

This is where Definedge’s FREE TDS Calculator can help.

What is TDS?

As the name suggests, the tax is deducted at the time a payment is made. Instead of paying the full amount, the payer deducts a certain percentage and deposits it with the government on your behalf.

This deducted amount can later be adjusted against your tax liability when you file your income tax return.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  1. Why is TDS deducted before I receive payment?
    TDS is a method through which tax is collected at the time of payment itself rather than at the end of the financial year.
  2. Does TDS mean my money is paid to the government, and I can’t get it back?
    No. The deducted amount is deposited with the government on your behalf and can generally be claimed while filing your income tax return.
  3. Why did I receive less money than my invoice amount?
    This usually happens because TDS has been deducted before the payment was made.
