₹12,00,000 per year
This free income tax calculator helps salaried employees in India calculate their exact tax liability for FY 2026-27 (Assessment Year 2027-28) and compare the old and new tax regimes side by side. Enter your gross annual income, select your age category, and optionally add your deductions under sections 80C, 80D, HRA, and home loan interest to see the full picture.
Under the new regime for FY 2026-27, salaried individuals with gross income up to ₹12,75,000 pay zero income tax — thanks to the ₹75,000 standard deduction and the Section 87A rebate of ₹60,000 (applicable when net taxable income is ₹12 lakh or less). The revised tax slabs — starting with nil tax up to ₹4 lakh, then 5% from ₹4–8L, 10% from ₹8–12L, and a new 25% slab for ₹20–24L — make the new regime more attractive for most taxpayers who don't have large deductions.
The old regime remains relevant for individuals claiming significant deductions: Section 80C (EPF, PPF, ELSS, LIC premiums — up to ₹1.5L), Section 80D health insurance premiums (up to ₹25,000), HRA exemption for rent payers, and home loan interest deduction under Section 24 (up to ₹2L). If your total deductions exceed approximately ₹4–5 lakh, the old regime may still save more tax. Use the side-by-side comparison in this calculator to find your best option instantly.
New regime slabs for FY 2026-27: 0–4L: nil, 4–8L: 5%, 8–12L: 10%, 12–16L: 15%, 16–20L: 20%, 20–24L: 25%, above 24L: 30%. Standard deduction ₹75,000. Salaried individuals earning up to ₹12,75,000 gross pay zero tax.
The new regime is default and better for most salaried employees with fewer deductions. The old regime is still beneficial if you have large deductions (80C ₹1.5L, HRA, 80D, home loan interest) that together exceed the new regime benefit. Compare both instantly using this calculator.
Under the new regime, a ₹60,000 rebate under Section 87A applies if net taxable income (after ₹75k standard deduction) is ₹12 lakh or less — resulting in zero tax for salaried individuals earning up to ₹12,75,000 gross. Under the old regime, ₹12,500 rebate for income up to ₹5 lakh.
₹75,000 under the new tax regime and ₹50,000 under the old tax regime. This is automatically deducted from gross salary before calculating taxable income.
Surcharge on income exceeding ₹50 lakh: 50L–1Cr: 5%, 1Cr–2Cr: 15%, 2Cr–5Cr: 25%, above 5Cr: 37% (old) / 25% (new regime). Plus 4% Health & Education Cess on tax + surcharge.
