Income Tax Guide for India — Regime Choice & Worked Example

India’s personal income tax currently offers an old regime (with deductions like 80C, 80D, 24(b)) and a new regime (generally lower slab rates but fewer deductions). This calculator helps you compare liability under both — always re-check the Finance Act / Income Tax portal for the assessment year you are filing.

Worked example (illustrative): Salaried income ₹12 lakh, standard deduction as applicable, no other income. Under the new regime with limited deductions, tax may be lower for many mid-income earners. If the same person invests ₹1.5 lakh in 80C (PPF/ELSS/EPF) and pays ₹25,000 health insurance (80D) under the old regime, run both sides in the calculator — the “winner” flips depending on total deductions and surcharge/cess.

What to enter carefully: taxable salary after exemptions your Form 16 already applied, other income (interest, rent), and only deductions you can actually claim. Do not double-count employer NPS or HRA already netted in Form 16.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between old and new tax regimes?
The old tax regime allows various deductions and exemptions but has higher tax rates. The new tax regime has lower tax rates but doesn't allow most deductions except for standard deduction. Choose based on your investment and tax-saving patterns.
Which tax regime should I choose?
The choice depends on your income level and investments. Generally, if you have significant investments and claim multiple deductions, the old regime might be beneficial. If you prefer simplicity and don't claim many deductions, the new regime might be better.
What are the major deductions available under Section 80C?
Section 80C includes investments in PPF, ELSS, life insurance premiums, EPF contributions, home loan principal repayment, children's tuition fees, and more. The maximum deduction available is ₹1.5 lakhs per financial year.
How is surcharge calculated?
Surcharge is applicable when your income exceeds ₹50 lakhs. It's 10% for income between ₹50 lakhs and ₹1 crore, and 15% for income above ₹1 crore. The surcharge is calculated on the basic tax amount.
What is Health and Education Cess?
Health and Education Cess is charged at 4% on the total of income tax and surcharge. It's mandatory for all taxpayers and helps fund education and healthcare initiatives.
