Limitations of this estimate

The calculator assumes a resident individual below 60 with salary/other normal-rate income. It does not handle capital gains or other special-rate income, age-based old-regime slabs or marginal relief on surcharge. FY 2026-27 is also the first “tax year” under the Income-tax Act 2025 — section numbers change but the figures above don’t. Confirm with the Income Tax Department or a CA before filing.
