Formula

India Income Tax Formula 2026

Tax = Σ (Slab Rate × Income in Slab) → Check 87A Rebate → + Surcharge + 4% Cess

Step 1: Gross Salary − Standard Deduction (₹75K) − NPS 80CCD(2) = Taxable Income
Step 2: Apply New Regime slab rates progressively on Taxable Income
Step 3: If Taxable Income ≤ ₹12L → Full Rebate u/s 87A → Tax = ₹0
Step 4: Add Surcharge if income > ₹50L
Step 5: Add 4% Health & Education Cess on (Tax + Surcharge)
Step 6: EPF = 12% of Basic (estimated as 50% of gross)

Example — ₹15L annual salary:
Taxable = 15,00,000 − 75,000 = ₹14,25,000
Tax = 0 + 20,000 + 40,000 + 33,750 = ₹93,750 → Cess ₹3,750 → Total = ₹97,500

FAQ

India Income Tax Calculator 2026 — People Also Ask

What are the income tax slabs for FY 2026-27 in India?
New Regime FY 2026-27: Up to ₹4L = Nil | ₹4–8L = 5% | ₹8–12L = 10% | ₹12–16L = 15% | ₹16–20L = 20% | ₹20–24L = 25% | Above ₹24L = 30%. Rebate u/s 87A ensures tax = ₹0 for net taxable income up to ₹12 lakh. Standard deduction of ₹75,000 for salaried makes gross salary up to ₹12.75L effectively tax-free.
How much tax do I pay on ₹10 lakh salary in India 2026?
On a ₹10 lakh gross annual salary under New Regime 2026: Taxable income after ₹75K standard deduction = ₹9.25L. Tax computed = ₹20,000 (5% on ₹4–8L) + ₹12,500 (10% on ₹8–9.25L) = ₹32,500. Since taxable income is below ₹12L, full rebate u/s 87A applies → Total tax = ₹0. Net pay = ₹10L minus EPF (₹60,000) = ₹9.4L approx.
What is the marginal tax rate in India?
The marginal tax rate is the tax you pay on your next rupee of income. In India 2026 under New Regime: for income just above ₹12L it is 15% (plus cess = 15.6%). At ₹20L it is 20% (effective 20.8%). Above ₹24L it is 30% (effective 31.2%). With surcharge above ₹50L, the marginal rate rises to 34.32% (10% surcharge) and up to 39% (15% surcharge above ₹1Cr).
What is EPF and how is it calculated on salary?
EPF (Employees’ Provident Fund) is a retirement savings scheme. Employee contributes 12% of basic salary per month; employer matches this 12%. In our calculator, EPF is estimated at 12% of 50% of gross salary (approximating basic). For a ₹12L salary, EPF employee contribution = ₹72,000/year (₹6,000/month). EPF reduces your take-home but builds a tax-free retirement corpus.
Is income up to ₹12.75 lakh really tax-free for salaried employees?
Yes. For salaried employees under New Regime FY 2026-27: ₹75,000 standard deduction reduces gross ₹12.75L to ₹12L net taxable income. Rebate u/s 87A cancels 100% of tax for net income up to ₹12L. So gross salary ₹12.75L = zero income tax. You still pay EPF (provident fund) and the employer also pays EPF on your behalf, but income tax itself = ₹0.
What is the difference between average tax rate and marginal tax rate?
Average tax rate = Total tax paid ÷ Gross income. This is what % of your total income goes to tax. Marginal tax rate = The tax rate on your last (next) rupee of income — the slab rate at the top of your income. For example, on ₹20L salary: average rate may be ~10% but marginal rate is 20% (plus cess). The marginal rate matters most for decisions about bonuses, extra income, or investments.
