The formula for income tax calculation is:
Income Tax = (Gross Total Income – Deductions) × Applicable Tax Rate – Rebates + Cess
Breaking Down the Formula
Gross Total Income – This includes income from salary, business, rental properties, capital gains, and other sources.
Deductions – Eligible deductions under Section 80C to 80U (e.g., PPF, LIC, EPF, NPS, home loan interest, etc.) reduce taxable income.
Applicable Tax Rate – The tax rate depends on the tax slab applicable under the Old Regime or New Regime.
Rebates – Under Section 87A, taxpayers earning below ₹7 lakh (as per the new regime) get a rebate, reducing tax liability to zero.
Cess – A 4% health and education cess is added to the final tax amount.
Example Calculation
Let’s say a salaried individual has the following details:
Gross Income = ₹10,00,000
Deductions (80C, 80D, etc.) = ₹1,50,000
Taxable Income = ₹10,00,000 – ₹1,50,000 = ₹8,50,000
₹2,50,000 – No tax
₹2,50,001 to ₹5,00,000 – 5% tax = ₹12,500
₹5,00,001 to ₹8,50,000 – 20% tax on ₹3,50,000 = ₹70,000
Total Tax = ₹12,500 + ₹70,000 = ₹82,500
Cess (4%) = ₹3,300
Final Tax Payable = ₹85,800
₹3,00,000 – No tax
₹3,00,001 to ₹6,00,000 – 5% tax = ₹15,000
₹6,00,001 to ₹8,50,000 – 10% tax on ₹2,50,000 = ₹25,000
Total Tax = ₹15,000 + ₹25,000 = ₹40,000
Cess (4%) = ₹1,600
Final Tax Payable = ₹41,600
Thus, the individual pays ₹85,800 in the Old Regime but only ₹41,600 in the New Regime, making the New Regime more beneficial in this case.
