About this Calculator

This India income tax calculator covers FY 2025-26 (Assessment Year 2026-27) under both the New Tax Regime (default since FY 2024-25) and the Old Tax Regime. Enter your gross annual income to estimate total tax liability including surcharge and Health & Education Cess.

The New Tax Regime (Section 115BAC) offers lower tax rates but fewer deductions and exemptions. The basic exemption limit is ₹3,00,000, and taxpayers earning up to ₹7,00,000 pay no tax due to the Section 87A rebate.

The Old Tax Regime offers a higher basic exemption of ₹2,50,000 but allows deductions under Sections 80C, 80D, HRA, LTA, and the ₹50,000 standard deduction — useful for those with significant eligible deductions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the basic exemption limit for 2025-26?+
Under the New Tax Regime: ₹3,00,000. Under the Old Regime: ₹2,50,000. Individuals aged 60–80 (Senior Citizens) get ₹3,00,000 under old regime; super senior citizens (80+) get ₹5,00,000.
What is the Section 87A rebate?+
Section 87A provides a full tax rebate for resident individuals earning up to ₹7,00,000 under the New Regime (or ₹5,00,000 under the Old Regime). This means effectively zero tax for incomes within these limits.
Which regime is better for me?+
The New Regime is generally better if your deductions under 80C, 80D, HRA etc. are below ~₹1.5–2 lakh. If you have higher deductions (home loan interest, LTA, significant 80C investments), the Old Regime may save more.
What is the Health & Education Cess?+
A 4% cess is levied on the total income tax (plus surcharge if applicable). This cess funds health and education initiatives and applies to all taxpayers.
