₹0 tax (87A rebate after ₹75,000 standard deduction)

About this tool

New regime (default): slabs of 0% up to ₹4 lakh, then 5% to ₹8 lakh, 10% to ₹12 lakh, 15% to ₹16 lakh, 20% to ₹20 lakh, 25% to ₹24 lakh and 30% above, with a ₹75,000 standard deduction. Thanks to the Section 87A rebate, taxable income up to ₹12 lakh pays no tax, with marginal relief just above it.

Old regime: 0% up to ₹2.5 lakh, 5% to ₹5 lakh, 20% to ₹10 lakh and 30% above, with a ₹50,000 standard deduction plus deductions like 80C (₹1.5 lakh), 80D, HRA and home-loan interest (₹2 lakh).

Both add 4% health and education cess, and surcharge above ₹50 lakh. This is an estimate for salaried individuals under 60; file your return using the official utility.

हिंदी में मदद

FY 2026-27 के लिए पुरानी और नई टैक्स व्यवस्था की तुलना करें। नई व्यवस्था में ₹12 लाख तक की टैक्सेबल आय पर (₹75,000 स्टैंडर्ड डिडक्शन के बाद, यानी ₹12.75 लाख सैलरी तक) कोई टैक्स नहीं। पुरानी व्यवस्था में 80C, 80D, HRA जैसी छूट मिलती है।

Questions

Is income up to ₹12 lakh really tax-free?

In the new regime, yes: taxable income up to ₹12 lakh gets a full 87A rebate. For salaried people that means about ₹12.75 lakh of salary, after the ₹75,000 standard deduction. Special-rate income like capital gains doesn't get the rebate.

Which regime is better for me?

If your old-regime deductions (80C, 80D, HRA, home loan) add up to well over ₹4–5 lakh, the old regime can win; otherwise the new regime usually does. The calculator shows both.

Does this include surcharge and cess?

Yes: 4% cess on all tax, and surcharge for income above ₹50 lakh (capped at 25% in the new regime).
