Old vs New Tax Regime Calculator
Compare estimated income tax under both regimes using your salary and eligible deductions.
How to use this comparison
Enter only deductions you can substantiate. The old regime permits many exemptions and deductions, while the new regime applies wider slabs with fewer deductions.
Does this include Section 87A rebate?
Yes. It applies the commonly used FY 2025–26 rebate assumptions for eligible resident individuals, but it does not test residency or special-rate income.
Why may my final tax differ?
Your Form 16, other income, surcharge, capital gains, employer treatment and filing position can change the result.

How to read your tax-regime comparison
Compare the estimated tax under both regimes using the same income base. The outcome can change materially when HRA, eligible deductions, exemptions, losses or special-rate income are involved. Use the lower estimate as a planning signal, then verify eligibility before filing.
Planning note: Tax rules depend on the relevant financial and assessment year; verify the final computation before filing.
