What are Tax & Salary?

Tax and salary tools on SabTools.in compute income tax under old and new regimes, break down CTC into take-home, calculate TDS, estimate HRA exemption, project EPF and NPS corpus, and estimate stamp duty for property transactions — using the exact slab rates, exemption limits, and deduction rules in effect for the current Indian financial year. Every tool is updated within a few weeks of Union Budget announcements, so the numbers reflect the most recent changes published by the Income Tax Department. These are planning tools — the final tax computation on your ITR will match these outputs to the rupee when you enter the same inputs.

Key Features & Capabilities

Current-year slabs and limits

Income tax slabs, standard deduction, 87A rebate ceiling, 80C cap, 80D limits, HRA cities, and NPS additional deduction all reflect the FY in effect. Both FY 2024-25 (returns filed in 2025) and FY 2025-26 (returns to be filed in 2026) are supported side by side.

Old vs New regime side by side

Every income tax calculator runs both regimes in parallel and highlights the lower-tax option with the exact rupee difference. No need to run the numbers twice.

CTC breakdown to take-home

The Salary Calculator decomposes CTC into basic, HRA, special allowance, EPF, professional tax (state-specific), and income tax — producing the actual in-hand monthly amount employees see in their bank.

State-wise stamp duty

Stamp duty and registration charges vary by state and by buyer gender (several states offer women-buyer concessions). The Stamp Duty Calculator supports all 28 states and 8 union territories with current rates.

Common Use Cases

1

Choosing the tax regime before declaring to HR

Most employers ask you to declare old vs new regime at the start of each financial year. Run your expected income, 80C investments, HRA, and home loan interest through the Income Tax Calculator — it will tell you which regime saves you more for the full year, not just the current pay cycle.

2

Understanding where your CTC actually goes

A ₹15 lakh CTC rarely means ₹15 lakh in your bank. The Salary Calculator shows the 12% employer EPF contribution that sits in CTC but never hits your salary account, the income tax withheld monthly, the professional tax deducted by your state, and the actual take-home. For most employees, take-home is 65-75% of CTC.

3

Claiming HRA exemption correctly

HRA exemption is the minimum of three numbers: actual HRA received, rent paid minus 10% of basic, and 50% of basic (for metros) or 40% (for non-metros). The HRA Calculator runs all three and gives you the maximum legitimate exemption. Pair with the Rent Receipt Generator to produce the documentation HR will ask for.

4

Budgeting for a property purchase

Stamp duty and registration can add 6-8% to the property cost in most states. The Stamp Duty Calculator shows the exact amount for your state, factoring in the female-buyer concession where applicable. Combine with the Home Loan EMI Calculator to see total monthly outflow including stamp-duty EMI reimbursement if you finance it.

How to Choose the Right Tool

If you are a salaried employee during investment declaration: Income Tax Calculator (both regimes) → HRA Calculator → Salary Calculator for take-home. If you are filing your ITR: Income Tax Calculator to verify the amount your CA or TDS deductor computed. If you are buying property: Stamp Duty Calculator + Home Loan Calculator + Property Capital Gains Tax Calculator (for the seller side). If you are planning for retirement: NPS Calculator + EPF Calculator + PPF Calculator together, to see the total retirement corpus.

Tax & Salary Built for India

Indian tax is layered: central income tax under the IT Act, a small professional tax levied by state governments (varies from ₹200 to ₹2,500 per year depending on state), state stamp duty on property transactions, and GST on most goods and services. None of these are abstractly 'Indian tax' — they each have their own rules, slab structures, and exemptions. Our tools handle the central income tax (old and new regimes), the salary-side professional tax deduction, stamp duty at state granularity, and the GST slab structure published by the GST Council for business invoicing. If your situation needs state-specific guidance (Maharashtra professional tax brackets, for example), the salary calculator defaults to that state when selected.

Who Uses These Tax & Salary?

Salaried employees estimating take-home pay, CAs advising clients on tax regime selection, HR professionals processing payroll, and freelancers calculating advance tax payments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the calculator include the 4% Health & Education Cess?
Yes — every tax output shown is the final tax-plus-cess amount, not pre-cess base tax. The 4% cess applies to both old and new regime outputs and is already included in the comparison number the tool shows.
When does the 87A rebate apply?
Under the new regime for FY 2025-26, the rebate is available when taxable income is up to ₹7 lakh, effectively making income up to that level tax-free. Under the old regime, the rebate applies up to ₹5 lakh of taxable income. The Income Tax Calculator applies the correct rebate automatically based on which regime is selected.
How does the tool handle 80D medical insurance deduction for senior citizen parents?
80D allows up to ₹25,000 for self/family plus up to ₹50,000 additional for senior citizen parents. Our calculator has separate fields for these so you can enter the premium amounts and see the combined deduction. If parents are super-senior (80+), the limit is still ₹50,000 but we flag the higher limit for preventive health check-up spending within that cap.
My HR showed me a different take-home than the Salary Calculator — why?
Most common reasons: your HR factored in one-time annual components (bonus, LTA) differently; state professional tax may not be included in HR's projection; your employer may use a different EPF base (sometimes on basic only, sometimes on basic + DA); your declared investments differ from what the calculator assumes. Enter the exact numbers your offer letter shows and the outputs should match to within ₹200-500.
Are these numbers good enough to file an actual ITR with?
They are good enough to verify a CA's computation or the return your TDS deductor computes, and to plan investments and declarations. For the final ITR filing you will use the official Income Tax e-filing portal or a regulated filing service because the portal cross-references your Form 26AS and AIS automatically. Use our tools upstream for planning; use the portal downstream for filing.
Are FY 2025-26 / AY 2026-27 changes already reflected in the calculator?
Yes — including the new-regime standard deduction of ₹75,000, the revised ₹7 lakh rebate ceiling under Section 87A, the surcharge cap at 25% for the new regime, and the post-Budget 2024 LTCG and STCG rates on equity. The calculator labels which financial year and assessment year the rate set applies to; if you select FY 2024-25 it loads the older rates for return-filing of last year's income.
Why does my employer's TDS sheet show different deductions than this calculator?
Employers compute TDS based on declared investments and projected annual income; if you declared full 80C and HRA upfront and the actual claim differs, the year-end reconciliation produces a refund or additional tax. Our calculator computes the final liability with your real numbers — use it after the fact to estimate your refund and again before next year's declaration to choose the right regime.
Does the calculator handle freelance and consultant income correctly?
Yes — for consultants and freelancers eligible under Section 44ADA (gross receipts up to ₹75 lakh, presumptive 50% net profit), the calculator applies the presumptive rule and skips the standard deduction (which is salaried-only). For other freelancers, gross receipts minus actual business expenses go in as 'income from business or profession' and are then aggregated with other heads.
