Tax Planning and Savings
Model different deduction scenarios (like 80C or HRA) to optimize your take-home pay legally.
Compare Tax Regimes: Old vs. New
One of the most confusing aspects of filing returns is deciding between regimes. Our Tax Regime Comparison Tool simplifies this. The Old Regime allows for numerous exemptions (HRA, LTA) and deductions (Section 80C, 80D, etc.), but has higher slab rates. The New Regime offers significantly lower slab rates but removes almost all deductions. By using this calculator, you can enter your deductions once and instantly see which regime minimizes your tax liability.

Income Tax Formula and Examples
The core logic of an Income Tax Slab Calculator involves progressive taxation. This means your entire income is not taxed at a flat rate; instead, different chunks of it are taxed at increasing rates.
Basic Calculation Steps:
- Gross Income − Exemptions = Total Gross Total Income
- Total Gross Total Income − Deductions (e.g., 80C) = Taxable Income
- Apply Slab Rates to Taxable Income chunks
- Add Surcharge (if applicable) and Health & Education Cess (4%)
Example Calculation:
Annual Gross Income: ₹10,00,000
Eligible Deductions (Old Regime): ₹1,50,000
Taxable Income: ₹8,50,000
Tax Payable: Calculated progressively based on applicable slab rates, plus a 4% cess. The calculator handles all the complex math instantly!
