Tax Regime Comparison

Both regimes computed side by side on the same figures, so the difference is explicit.

Rates pending verification

The slab rates, rebate thresholds and surcharge bands used by this calculator are held in content/tax-rates.json and have not yet been verified by the firm against the current legislation. Treat every result as illustrative only until that review is complete.

Read this before acting on it

The comparison is only as good as the deduction figures you enter, and it covers salary and other income for a resident individual. The right answer can change year to year as a home loan is repaid, a policy lapses or a salary structure is revised. Recheck it annually rather than carrying a previous decision forward.

Indicative only

These calculators produce indicative results based only on the figures you enter and the assumptions stated on each page. They are not professional advice and must not be relied on for filing, planning or any other purpose. Tax law changes frequently. Please speak to us about your specific circumstances.

Questions

About this calculator

It is the total deduction figure at which both regimes produce the same liability. Below it the concessional regime generally wins; above it the deduction-based regime does. The tool shows this figure for your income once you enter it.

Only if you enter the exempt amount in the HRA field. Work that figure out with the HRA calculator first, since it depends on your rent, salary and city.
