Income Tax Calculator - FY 2024-2025
Starting April 1st, 2020, a new income tax system has come into force. The government, however, has given the taxpayers an option to either stay with the old system (including tax exemptions and deductions) or file their IT-returns under the system (without deductions and tax exemptions). Irrespective of the option you choose, you need to understand how much tax you owe to the government and the return amount you are entitled to. This is where using an income tax calculator can become very helpful.

What is the Income Tax Calculator?

The Income tax estimator is an easy to use online tool that helps you accurately deduce the tax amount based on your income for the financial year.

How to Use the Income Tax Calculator for FY 2024-25 (AY 2025-26)?

Follow these steps to easily estimate your tax liability:

  • Enter Basic Details: Provide your age and select the financial year.
  • Enter Income Details: Include all forms of income you received.
  • Claim Deductions (if applicable): Add eligible deductions such as 80C, 80D, HRA, and others.
  • Compute Tax Liability: The calculator will estimate the tax payable under both old and new regimes.
  • Compare Results: Review which tax regime offers you the most benefit.

How to Calculate Income Tax?

To compute income tax:

  • Identify gross income from all sources.
  • Deduct exemptions, such as HRA and LTA (if applicable under the old regime).
  • Subtract eligible deductions under Sections 80C, 80D, 80E, etc.
  • Apply the respective tax slab rates based on the chosen regime.
  • Include cess and applicable rebates.

Total Tax (as per the Old Regime)

Under the old tax regime, taxpayers can claim various deductions and exemptions, reducing taxable income. These include deductions under sections like 80C (for investments in PPF, ELSS, LIC, etc.), 80D (for health insurance premiums), and HRA exemptions, among others.

While this regime provides significant tax-saving opportunities, it often requires careful tax planning to maximise benefits. However, the tax slabs remain unchanged compared to the new regime, meaning individuals in higher income brackets may still face higher tax rates despite deductions.

Total Tax (As Per the New Regime)

The new tax regime offers lower tax rates but eliminates most deductions and exemptions, making it a simpler alternative to the old regime. It benefits individuals who do not claim many deductions, as they can take advantage of reduced tax rates without complex tax planning.

However, taxpayers who maximise deductions under the old regime may find the new regime less beneficial. Taxpayers can opt for the regime based on their financial preferences and tax-saving strategies.
