What Is the Income Tax Calculator?

The EzyToolz Income Tax Calculator helps you estimate your income tax liability for FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27) in under a minute. Enter your annual income, select your tax regime, and add any applicable deductions — the tool instantly calculates your tax payable under both the new regime and the old regime side by side, so you can see which one saves more money before filing your ITR.

The calculator covers all major deduction sections — HRA exemption, Section 80C investments, Section 80CCD(1B) NPS contributions, Section 80D health insurance premiums, and home loan interest under Section 24(b). It also applies the Section 87A rebate automatically, handles surcharge for higher income levels, and adds the 4% health and education cess — giving you the final tax payable figure, not just a raw slab calculation.

Freelancers and self-employed professionals estimating advance tax liability for the year to avoid interest under Section 234B and 234C.

Senior citizens and super senior citizens who have different basic exemption limits under the old regime and want to see the actual difference in tax outgo.

First-time taxpayers who want to understand how income tax slabs, deductions, and rebates work before filing their first return.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Yes, for resident individuals under the new regime. Budget 2025 raised the Section 87A rebate to ₹60,000, making net taxable income up to ₹12 lakh completely tax-free. For salaried individuals, the ₹75,000 standard deduction brings the effective tax-free gross income to ₹12.75 lakh. NRIs are not eligible for the 87A rebate.

Under the new regime after standard deduction, taxable income is ₹14.25 lakh and tax is approximately ₹1,05,000 plus cess. Under the old regime, if you claim ₹1.5 lakh under 80C, ₹50,000 under 80CCD(1B), ₹25,000 under 80D, and have significant HRA or home loan interest — the old regime may reduce tax further. Use the calculator above to enter your exact deductions and compare both regimes.

Very few. Standard deduction of ₹75,000 for salaried and pensioned individuals, employer’s NPS contribution under Section 80CCD(2), and the Agniveer Corpus Fund deduction. Deductions under 80C, 80D, HRA, LTA, and Section 24(b) home loan interest are not available in the new regime.

Section 87A gives a full rebate on tax liability — meaning zero tax — for resident individuals whose net taxable income is within the limit. For FY 2025-26 under the new regime, the rebate is ₹60,000 and applies up to ₹12 lakh taxable income. Under the old regime, the rebate is ₹12,500 and applies up to ₹5 lakh. NRIs cannot claim this rebate.

HRA exemption is the lowest of three amounts: actual HRA received from the employer; 50% of basic salary for metro cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata) or 40% for non-metro; and actual rent paid minus 10% of basic salary. Only the exempt amount is deducted from taxable income. Use the HRA Calculator for your exact figure.

Salaried individuals without business income can switch between regimes every year when filing their ITR. Individuals with business or professional income can switch out of the new regime only once — after that, they must stay in the old regime permanently.
