How we calculate this

  • Basic = 50% of CTC; HRA = 50% of Basic; Employer PF = 12%; Gratuity = 4.81%.
  • Employee PF (12% of Basic) is deducted from your salary.
  • New regime: ₹75,000 standard deduction, FY 2026-27 slabs, no other exemptions.
  • Old-regime estimate assumes full ₹1.5L under 80C, ₹25K under 80D, plus HRA exemption from the rent you entered.
  • 4% health & education cess and ₹200/month professional tax applied.

Tax rules: Budget 2026 retained FY 2025-26 slabs unchanged. Verified against Income Tax Dept (incometax.gov.in) & ClearTax, July 2026. Updated 2026-07-02.

Estimates only — not tax or financial advice. Your actual pay depends on your company’s exact salary structure and your declared investments. Verify with a professional before deciding.
