FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Indian income tax calculation

The old tax regime offers various deductions and exemptions (like HRA, 80C investments, etc.) but has higher tax rates. The new tax regime has lower tax rates but eliminates most deductions and exemptions. Choose based on your investment and deduction profile.

HRA exemption is the minimum of: (1) Actual HRA received, (2) 50% of basic salary for metro cities (40% for non-metros), or (3) Actual rent paid minus 10% of basic salary. Our calculator automatically applies these rules to maximize your tax benefits.

Section 80C allows deductions up to ₹1.5 lakh for various investments and expenses, including:

  • Employee Provident Fund (EPF) contributions
  • Public Provident Fund (PPF)
  • Equity-Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS)
  • Life insurance premiums
  • National Savings Certificate (NSC)
  • Tax-saving fixed deposits (5-year lock-in)
  • Home loan principal repayment
  • Tuition fees for children (maximum 2)

Annual bonus is added to your total taxable income and taxed according to your income tax slab. There's no separate tax rate for bonuses. Our calculator includes your bonus amount in the annual income calculation to provide accurate tax estimates.

All salaried employees are eligible for a standard deduction of ₹50,000 from their gross salary under the old tax regime. This is automatically included in our calculator. Under the new tax regime, this standard deduction is not available.

Section 80D allows deductions for health insurance premiums. The calculator applies the following limits: Up to ₹25,000 for self, spouse, and children; an additional ₹25,000 for parents (₹50,000 if parents are senior citizens). The maximum possible deduction is ₹75,000.

Yes, our calculator is regularly updated to reflect the latest tax rules and regulations announced in the Union Budget. The current version incorporates all tax changes for the financial year 2023-24 (assessment year 2024-25).
