What is an 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 calculation. Therefore, you should know the details discussed here before using it.

Income Tax Slabs Under Old Tax Regime

 

In order to understand the income tax calculation process, you first need to know the rates applicable for different income limits under the new and the old regime.

The Income Tax Slab Rates for Individuals and HUF below 60 years of age as per the existing (old) income tax regime are as follows:

Income tax slabs Rate of Taxation
Up to ₹2,50,000  Nil 
Between ₹2,50,001 and ₹5,00,000  5% of your total income that exceeds ₹2,50,000 
Between ₹5,00,001 and ₹10,00,000  ₹12,500 + 20% of your total income that exceeds ₹5,00,000 
Above ₹10,00,000  ₹1,12,500 + 30% of your total income that exceeds ₹10,00,000 

Income Tax Slabs Under New Tax Regime

 

The Budget of July 2024 has proposed changes in the income tax slabs of the New Tax Regime, which are as follows:

Income Tax Slabs Rate of Taxation
Up to ₹3,00,000  Nil 
Between ₹3,00,001 and ₹7,00,000  5% of your total income that exceeds ₹3,00,000 
Between ₹7,00,001 and ₹10,00,000  ₹20,000 + 10% of your total income that exceeds ₹7,00,000 
Between ₹10,00,001 and ₹12,00,000  ₹50,000 + 15% of your total income that exceeds ₹10,00,000 
Between ₹12,00,001 and ₹15,00,000  ₹80,000 + 20% of your total income that exceeds ₹12,00,000 
Above ₹15,00,001  ₹1,40,000 + 30% of your total income that exceeds ₹15,00,000  

Your income tax liability will be calculated depending on the regime you choose.

Now that you are aware of the applicable rates for respective income slabs under both regimes, let’s have a look at the calculation formula.

Income Tax Calculation Formula for New and Old Regimes

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

Here is the formula used by an online income tax calculator -

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

How to Calculate Total Income Tax Liability?

 

Using an income tax calculator, you can calculate the tax liability based on the following points:

  • Annual income coming from salary and other profits.
  • Earning from other sources like savings, investments, rent, etc.
  • Components of income eligible for exemptions.
  • Transport allowance and house rents.
  • 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 this.

 

The following are your salary components and respective exemptions apply to them.

Salary Components and Amounts (in ₹) Exemption Under Old Regime (in ₹) Exemption Under New Regime (in ₹)
Basic Salary - 12,00,000 
HRA - 6,00,000  3,60,000 
Special Allowance - 2,52,000 
Leave Travelling Allowance – 20,000  12,000 (on submitting bills) 
Standard Deduction  50,000  75,000 
Gross Taxable Income  16,50,000  19,97,000 

Since the exemptions and applicable rates under the old and new regimes are different, here are 2 examples to illustrate the respective calculation processes.
