How the tax is worked out
The calculator turns your salary into a yearly figure, finds the slab it falls in, and applies that slab's fixed amount plus its percentage of the salary above the slab's start. Only the part of your salary inside a slab is taxed at that slab's rate.

Common questions
How much salary is tax free in tax year 2027?
Taxable salary up to Rs 600,000 a year, which is Rs 50,000 a month, carries no income tax under the salaried table in Division I of Part I of the First Schedule.
Is there a surcharge on high salaries in tax year 2027?
No. Section 4AB charges a 10% surcharge where taxable income exceeds Rs 10 million, but its proviso as substituted by the Finance Act, 2026 says no surcharge is payable by an individual deriving income under the head Salary. In tax year 2026 the salaried surcharge was 9%, and in tax year 2025 it was 10%.
Who counts as a salaried person for these rates?
The salaried table applies where income chargeable under the head Salary is more than 75% of taxable income. If salary is 75% or less, the higher table for individuals and associations of persons applies instead. Use the business income tax calculator for that case.
Does this include tax credits and deductions?
No. The calculator applies the rate table to the taxable salary you enter. Reductions such as tax credits for donations or pension fund contributions, or reductions for teachers and researchers, are not deducted, so your actual liability may be lower.
Why does my employer deduct a different amount each month?
Section 149 requires the employer to deduct tax each month based on the estimated tax for the whole year. If your salary changes during the year, or a bonus is paid, the employer adjusts the remaining deductions, so the monthly figure moves.
