Income Tax Calculator

What is an Income Tax Calculator?

The Income Tax Act 1961 in India establishes the basis of laws and regulations that measure income for Indian residents and non-resident Indians who receive in any financial year from various sources and occupations. There are separate provisions under this Act that include multiple revenue sources and expenditure and their consideration to determine an assessee’s income tax. Besides, the Act provides multiple deductions and exemptions given to taxpayers in separate sections for tax relief. The laws of the Income Tax Act 1961 are long and tough, making it impossible for a common taxpayer to measure his income tax liabilities, which is why it is better to calculate his income tax liability. 

The income tax calculator is a basic online application that helps you set the values against the applicable fields and determine the financial year’s income tax. This income tax calculator has provided more transparency to the lager public.

For individuals, self-employed workers and business people, the measurement of income tax are distinct. Besides, the measure often depends on an organisation’s disposition that may be a self-owned corporation, a joint business, or a company. The source of profits that may be wage or company income, rental income, lottery income, capital gains, securities revenue, and many other heads is another factor. The income tax is measured based on the individual’s gross income, which includes income from the following sources:

• Income from Salary

How to calculate Income Tax for Salaried? – Example

Clubbing the amount earned as Basic Wage, Dearness Allowance, HRA, Travel Allowance, and every other allowance determine the revenue from salary. The Income Tax Act also exempts such salary items, such as telephone bill repayment, travel leave exemption, etc. Furthermore, if you live on rent and earn an HRA, a part of your HRA will also be excluded, which will be calculated by the HRA exemption estimate.

There is a mandatory allowance of 50,000, along with a maximum tax rebate of 12,500 for salaried persons.

Let us use an example to explain the existing income tax estimate and the proposed tax regime. Aashi gets a base wage of about 80,000 per month. Her HRA is about 40,000 a month, and she gets a separate allowance of about 15,000 per month. She gets an annual LTA of 15,000, pays a monthly rent of 30,000 and lives in Mumbai.

For the income tax calculator, you need to include income from all sources like:

• Firstly, the pay money earned by the contractor is included.
• Next, money received from house lands, such as rental income or interest charged on the home loan deduction.
• Thirdly, capital benefit profits resulting from the selling of shares or properties such as house ownership.
• Require earnings received by any company or occupation, such as freelancing or any other company or profession.
• Finally, it requires earnings from other sources, such as deposit interest income, small income, etc.

Thus, Aashi also got around 5,000 from a fixed deposit as interest income. She has also made an investment of around 50,000 in PPF. The LIC premium charged by her is about 9,000, and the premium for medical benefits is about 8,000.

FAQs for Income Tax Calculator

✅How is the income tax calculator utilised?

Income tax is calculated after adding the income from all sources like salary, house property, capital gain, and other sources to get Gross Total Income. After clubbing the income from all these sources, the investments and expenses, which are allowed as deductions and exemptions, are to be deducted from the Gross Total Income to arrive at Taxable Income. Then, the tax is calculated as per the applicable income tax slab.

In the case of income from business and profession, the income tax is calculated separately as the individual tax slab is not applicable.
