What is an Income Tax Calculator?
An Income Tax Calculator is a digital tool that helps you calculate your total tax payable based on your income, age, applicable tax slabs, and deductions claimed. It eliminates the guesswork and manual computation, ensuring accuracy and saving you time.
BUSY’s Income Tax Calculator supports both tax regimes (Old and New), allowing users to compare which one gives the better tax outcome. It caters to a wide audience:
- Salaried employees
- Freelancers & consultants
- Business owners
- Retired individuals with pension income
To use it, you typically need to input:
- Gross annual income
- Income from other sources
- Deductions under sections like 80C, 80D, HRA, LTA, etc.
- Age category (for senior citizen tax benefits)
- Chosen tax regime
Once the values are entered, the tool gives an instant tax liability amount along with a breakdown of how it’s computed.
Budget 2025 Income Tax Updates
The Union Budget 2025 introduced a few updates in the personal income tax framework that impact both salaried and self-employed taxpayers. Here are some key highlights:
- Standard deduction of ₹50,000 retained under both regimes
- Increased 80C limit for certain categories (from ₹1.5 lakh to ₹2 lakh in some cases)
- Revised tax slabs under the new regime to offer marginal relief
- More inclusive benefits for senior citizens, including higher deduction caps under section 80D
Calculate Income Tax on Salary with Example
Let’s take a relatable example to see how income tax is calculated for a salaried individual under both regimes.
Example:
- Gross Salary: ₹10,00,000
- Standard Deduction: ₹50,000
- 80C Deduction: ₹1,50,000
- 80D Deduction: ₹25,000
Old Regime Calculation:
- Net Taxable Income = ₹10,00,000 – ₹50,000 – ₹1,50,000 – ₹25,000 = ₹7,75,000
- Tax Slab:
- 0 – 2.5L = NIL
- 2.5 – 5L = 5% of ₹2.5L = ₹12,500
- 5 – 7.5L = 10% of ₹2.5L = ₹25,000
- 7.5 – 10L = 15% of ₹25,000 = ₹3,750
- Total Tax = ₹12,500 + ₹25,000 + ₹3,750 = ₹41,250 + cess
New Regime Calculation (No deductions):
- Tax on ₹10,00,000 as per new slabs:
- 0 – 3L = NIL
- 3 – 6L = 5% of ₹3L = ₹15,000
- 6 – 9L = 10% of ₹3L = ₹30,000
- 9 – 10L = 15% of ₹1L = ₹15,000
- Total Tax = ₹60,000 + cess
Result:
Old regime saves more in this scenario due to deductions. BUSY’s calculator lets you view both options instantly so you can make an informed decision.
