Income Tax Calculator for FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27): Old vs New Tax Regime Calculator

An income tax calculator for FY 2025–26 helps you understand your estimated tax liability under both the old and new tax regimes. By giving a clear comparison in one place, the old vs new tax regime calculator lets you see which option aligns better with your income, deductions, and overall savings, making your regime selection simpler and more informed.

What is an Income Tax Calculator?

income tax calculator
An income tax calculator is an online tool of precision that lets you calculate tax liability based on your data. It is free, easy to use, and provides an error-free result. However, any incorrect data can impact your calculations. Therefore, you should know the details discussed here before using them.

What is the Formula to Calculate Income Tax for New and Old Regime?

Note that irrespective of the chosen regime, the basic income tax calculation formula remains the same.

Here is the formula used by an online calculator for tax:

Total income tax = {Total income - (exempted limit + all applicable deductions + TDS)} x applicable tax rate as per income slab + cess.

How to Calculate Income Tax Liability for Salaried Employee Under New Regime (FY25-26)?

Using an old vs new tax regime calculator, you can calculate the tax liability based on the following points:

  • The annual income comes from salary and other profits.
  • Earnings from other sources like savings, investments, rent, etc.
  • Components of income are eligible for exemptions.
  • Transport allowance and house rent.
  • Tax already paid through TDS.

Note that you need to pay tax on your gross taxable income, as is evident from the mentioned formula. This is your total income minus all applicable exemptions and already paid taxes.

Let's look at an illustration to understand how tax is calculated under the new regime.

Salary Components  Amount (in ₹)  Exemption Under New Regime FY 2025–26 (in ₹) 
Basic Salary  9,00,000  – 
HRA  2,40,000  – 
Special Allowance  60,000  – 
Total Income  12,00,000   
Standard Deduction  –  75,000 
Gross Taxable Income  –  11,25,000 

Note: Under the New Regime, HRA exemption is not available; only the standard deduction of ₹75,000 applies from FY 2025–26.

Tax Calculation Summary:

Description  Amount (₹) 
Taxable Income (Total  11,25,000 
Income Tax  52,500 
Health & Education Cess (4%)  2100 
Surcharge 
Total Tax Payable (Before Rebate)  54,600 

Tax Rebate Check:

Taxable Income = ₹11,25,000 (≤ ₹12,00,000 threshold under Section 87A for New Regime)

Rebate under Section 87A = ₹52,500 (limited to actual tax, max ₹60,000)

Total Tax Payable after Rebate = ₹0

How to Calculate Income Tax Liability for Salaried Employee Under Old Regime (FY25-26)?

Calculation of income tax liability for salaried employee with an income tax calculator under the old regime is shown below:

Components  Amount (₹)  Total (₹) 
Salary  12,00,000  – 
Total Income  –  12,00,000

Under Section 80TTA  Savings bank account  8,000 
Standard Deductions    50,000 
Total Deductions    2,20,000 

Under the Old Regime, common deductions like 80C, 80D, 80TTA and HRA exemption are still applicable and standard deduction is ₹50,000. 

Taxable Income = Total Income – Total Deductions

= 12,00,000 – 2,20,000

= 9,80,000/-
