What is an Income Tax Calculator?

An Income Tax Calculator is an online tool that helps individuals estimate their income tax liability for a financial year. By inputting details like your annual income, deductions, age, and chosen tax regime (Old or New), the calculator applies the relevant tax slabs and rules to provide an approximate amount of tax payable. This helps in financial planning and understanding potential tax outgo before filing official returns.

Why Use Free Online Income Tax Calculator?

Gone are the days when you had to rely solely on Chartered Accountants to get a rough estimate of your tax outgo. With the digital revolution, financial literacy is at your fingertips. An Income Tax Calculator simplifies the complicated arithmetical calculations involved in tax provisions. By simply entering your salary details, investments, and applicable deductions, you can get an instant breakdown of your tax liability. This tool helps you compare the tax implications under the Old Regime versus the New Regime, empowering you to choose the option that saves you the most money.

Income Tax Updates for FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27)

As of May 2025, the tax regulations for the Financial Year 2025-26 (Assessment Year 2026-27) are based on the latest publicly available information, which generally aligns with the rules established for FY 2024-25. Any specific changes announced in the Union Budget for 2025 would supersede these assumptions.

Key aspects include the option to choose between the Old Tax Regime (with various deductions) and the New Tax Regime (with lower slab rates but fewer deductions, and a default Standard Deduction of ₹75,000 for salaried individuals).

Features of the EZYToolz Income Tax Calculator

Our Income Tax Calculator is designed to be user-friendly, accurate, and compliant with the latest financial regulations. One of the biggest challenges taxpayers face is deciding between the two tax regimes. The Old Regime allows for various exemptions and deductions (like HRA, LTA, and 80C), while the New Regime offers lower tax rates but with minimal deductions. Our tool automatically computes your tax under both scenarios, presenting a side-by-side comparison. This feature alone makes our Income Tax Calculator essential for strategic tax planning.

Using a reliable tax estimator ensures that you do not overpay or underpay your taxes. Overpaying means your money sits with the government without earning interest, while underpaying can lead to penalties. By using this Income Tax Calculator frequently throughout the financial year, you can adjust your investments in tax-saving instruments like ELSS, PPF, or NPS to reduce your taxable income effectively.

Revised Income Tax Slabs Under New Regime for FY 2025-2026 (AY 2026-2027)

The New Tax Regime is the default regime unless you opt for the Old Regime. It offers lower tax rates but disallows most common deductions and exemptions. A Standard Deduction of ₹75,000 is available for salaried individuals and pensioners under the New Regime.

Note: Rebate under Section 87A is available if net taxable income is up to ₹7,00,000, making the tax liability zero for such individuals under the New Regime.
