Income tax in India is a direct tax levied by the Government of India on the income of individuals and corporations. It is governed by the Income Tax Act, 1961. The amount of tax you pay depends on your income, age, and various deductions and exemptions available under the law. Our online income tax calculator helps estimate this for you.
Any individual, Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), company, firm, association of persons, or body of individuals earning income in India is liable to pay income tax, provided their income exceeds the basic exemption limit set by the government for a financial year.
Currently, taxpayers in India have two main tax regimes to choose from: the Old Tax Regime and the New Tax Regime (introduced in Budget 2020). The old regime allows for various deductions and exemptions (like Section 80C, HRA, LTA), while the new regime offers lower tax rates but fewer deductions and exemptions.
Our Income Tax Calculator helps you estimate your tax liability based on your income, age, and chosen tax regime. You'll need to input your gross income, details of your deductions (if opting for the old regime), and your age to get an estimated tax payable.
The basic exemption limit varies based on the financial year and the age of the taxpayer. For individuals below 60 years, the limit is typically ₹2.5 Lakhs (or ₹3 Lakhs under the new regime). Senior citizens (60-80 years) and super senior citizens (above 80 years) have higher exemption limits.
Absolutely! This tool allows you to compare different scenarios, such as the impact of various deductions under the old regime or the benefits of the new regime, helping you optimize your tax strategy and identify potential tax savings.
