What is an income tax new regime calculator?

A income tax new regime calculator (new tax regime calculator) estimates the tax you owe on salary under India’s new regime, the default from FY 2025-26. It subtracts the ₹75,000 standard deduction and any allowed deduction such as employer NPS under 80CCD(2) from your gross salary, then runs the result through the new regime slabs to give your taxable income and tax estimate.

The new regime lowers slab rates but removes most deductions, so the math is simpler and this free tool shows your projected tax in seconds. It runs entirely in your browser, so no salary details leave your device.

How to use

  1. Enter your gross annual salary from your Form 16.
  2. Enter the employer NPS contribution under 80CCD(2), if any.
  3. Click Calculate Tax to see your taxable income and tax estimate.

Up to ₹4,00,000 · 0%
₹4,00,001 – ₹8,00,000 · 5%
₹8,00,001 – ₹12,00,000 · 10%
₹12,00,001 – ₹16,00,000 · 15%
₹16,00,001 – ₹20,00,000 · 20%
₹20,00,001 – ₹24,00,000 · 25%
Above ₹24,00,000 · 30%

Taxable income = gross salary − ₹75,000 − employer NPS. A 4% cess is added, and the 87A rebate (up to ₹60,000) makes income up to ₹12,00,000 tax-free.

Example

With the defaults — a gross salary of ₹18,00,000 and no NPS contribution — the calculator subtracts the ₹75,000 standard deduction to get a taxable income of ₹17,25,000. The slabs give ₹1,45,000 of tax, and the 4% cess of ₹5,800 takes the total to about ₹1,50,800 — roughly ₹12,567 a month, or 8.4% of gross. Raise the employer NPS contribution and both taxable income and tax fall.

Who is this new regime calculator for?

Because the new regime is now the default for most salaried Indians, this calculator is relevant across nearly every taxpayer — but it fits some groups especially well.

FAQ

What is the new income tax regime in India?

A simplified set of lower slabs from Budget 2025, and the default from FY 2025-26. You give up most deductions for lower rates.

What are the new regime slabs for FY 2025-26?

Nil up to ₹4 lakh; then 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% at the ₹8, 12, 16, 20, 24 lakh marks. Add 4% cess.

Yes. Salaried taxpayers get a standard deduction of ₹75,000, applied automatically here.

Which deductions are still allowed in the new regime?

Under 87A, income up to ₹12,00,000 gets a rebate of up to ₹60,000, bringing tax to nil. Marginal relief applies just above.

How is income tax calculated on salary?

Subtract the ₹75,000 deduction and any allowed deduction, apply slab rates, deduct the 87A rebate, then add cess.
