How India income tax works
The calculator applies the published tax bands to income after the supported deductions and personal allowance. Each band applies only to the portion inside it. These bands use the taxable income base.
Standard deduction (section 19): INR 75000. The result includes the actual allowed amount and the marginal effect of tapering.
| Taxable annual income | Rate |
|---|---|
| INR 0 - 400,000 | 0% |
| INR 400,000 - 800,000 | 5% |
| INR 800,000 - 1,200,000 | 10% |
| INR 1,200,000 - 1,600,000 | 15% |
| INR 1,600,000 - 2,000,000 | 20% |
| INR 2,000,000 - 2,400,000 | 25% |
| INR 2,400,000 - and above | 30% |
Tax credits and reductions applied after the main tariff: Rebate under section 156. Their amounts depend on the supported income profile; they do not reduce additional taxes or contributions.
The displayed tax total covers Income tax (default regime, section 202). See the country assumptions for details.
Calculation assumptions
- Tax year 2026-27 (1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027) under the default regime: nil up to INR 4 lakh, then 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% in INR 4 lakh steps, and 30% above INR 24 lakh.
- Salary is reduced by the INR 75,000 standard deduction. No other deduction is allowed under the default regime, so EPF and professional tax do not reduce taxable income.
- Residents with income up to INR 12 lakh get a rebate of the tax up to INR 60,000. Just above INR 12 lakh, marginal relief limits the tax to the income above INR 12 lakh.
- Health and Education Cess of 4% is added to the income tax after the rebate and marginal relief.
- EPF and professional tax are entered as actual annual amounts from the payslip. One employer, salary income only.
