How to Use the Income Tax Calculator for FY 2024-25 (AY 2025-26)
Follow these simple steps to calculate your estimated income tax:
- Enter Gross Income: Input your total gross income from all sources before any deductions. This calculator is designed to provide an estimate based on your overall gross income.
- Enter Other Deductions: Provide the sum of your eligible Chapter VI-A deductions (e.g., under Section 80C, 80D, 80E). Our calculator will automatically apply a standard deduction based on the tax regime you choose, so ensure this field covers only additional deductions.
- Select Age Group: Choose your age group (Below 60 years, 60 to 80 years, or 80 years and above). This is crucial as tax slabs and exemption limits differ for various age groups under the Old Tax Regime.
- Choose Tax Regime: Select either the 'Old Regime' or the 'New Regime'. Each regime has distinct tax rates and deduction rules, and our calculator helps you see the estimated tax calculation specific to your choice.
- Click 'Calculate Tax': The calculator will process your inputs and instantly display your **Adjusted Gross Income** (after standard deduction), your final **Taxable Income**, and the **Estimated Tax Payable** (including Health & Education Cess).
