Income Tax Calculation Formula (With Example)
Basic Formula:
Gross Income = Salary + Allowances + Other Income + Capital Gains
Taxable Income (Old Regime) = Gross Income − Exemptions − Deductions
Taxable Income (New Regime) = Gross Income − Standard Deduction (if applicable)
Example:
Monthly Income: ₹75,000
Annual Income: ₹9,00,000
Rent Paid: ₹2,40,000
80C Investment: ₹1,50,000
NPS Contribution: ₹50,000
Stock Market Profit: ₹40,000
Under the old tax regime, deductions and exemptions reduce taxable income, resulting in lower tax. Under the new tax regime, deductions are not allowed, leading to higher taxable income. The calculator compares both and displays the better option.
