❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Income tax is calculated based on your taxable income and tax regime. First, subtract deductions (standard deduction, 80C, 80D, etc.) from your annual income to get taxable income. Then apply progressive tax slabs (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%) based on your income bracket, and add 4% cess. Our calculator does this automatically for both Old and New tax regimes.

Choose Old Regime if: You have significant tax-saving investments (80C up to ₹1.5L, 80D, HRA exemption, etc.). The deductions can significantly reduce your taxable income.

Choose New Regime if: You have minimal investments and prefer lower tax rates with no deductions. The simplified structure often benefits those with lower deductions.

Use our calculator to compare both regimes and see which gives you lower tax.

Section 80C allows deductions up to ₹1.5 lakh for investments in:

  • Employee Provident Fund (EPF)
  • Public Provident Fund (PPF)
  • ELSS Mutual Funds
  • Life Insurance Premiums
  • National Savings Certificate (NSC)
  • Tax-Saving Fixed Deposits (5-year)
  • Principal repayment of home loan
  • Tuition fees for children

Note: Available only in Old Tax Regime.
