The income tax calculator is a quick and easy-to-use online tool that can be found on the official website of the Income Tax Department as well as on other third-party websites.
The tax calculator can be used to get an estimate of the taxes you pay based on your taxable income and your deductible investment and expenses. However, your taxable income determination will also be subject to new changes that may be presented in the Union Budget in India each year. Therefore, while using the tax calculator, it is important to choose the correct financial year for which you want to file your taxes.
An important feature of the income tax calculator is that the tool will consider your age, income, expenses, investments, the interest paid on your home loans, and various other details to give you the results. Moreover, it also generates the estimate of the income tax payable based on the tax regime (old or new) as well as the tax slab of the taxpayer.
Using the income tax calculator is simple, and you can get an estimate of your taxable income in a matter of minutes after filling in the right details. Here is how you can use the online income tax calculator:
Visit the Tata AIA Life Insurance official website and go to the Income Tax Calculator page.
Select your age bracket so that the correct tax slab rates can be applied.
Mention your annual salary – this should include all your bonuses and variables.
Next, fill in the other fields with your investment details and mention the amount under Section 80C and 80CCD(1B)
If you have a health insurance policy or health riders@ with your life insurance plans, mention the same under Section 80D.
If you are living in a rented home, mention the rent amount and the HRA received.
In case of a home loan that is being repaid, mention the interest paid so that it can be considered a deduction from your taxable income.
In case of an educational loan that is being repaid, mention the interest paid to have it counted as a deduction from your taxable income.
After submitting all these details correctly, you will be able to view an estimation of your taxable income and the income tax payable.
Using an online income tax calculator is not only simple but offers multiple benefits. For one, computing your taxable income manually can be a long-drawn process riddled with hassles. The scope of human error can also be high when you calculate your taxes, investments, and other components together. To ensure that you can easily compute your taxable income, these are some of the benefits of using an online income tax calculator:
The online tax calculator can be easily accessed on our official website or the official website of the Income Tax Department. This means you can calculate your taxes at your convenience, from anywhere.
With a user-friendly online tool, tax calculation need not take hours. Provided you fill in the right details, it takes less than a few minutes to know how much of your income will be taxable and the estimate amount of tax payable.
When the online calculator asks you for your investments, it helps you understand the various sections of the Income Tax Act under which you can claim tax deductions to bring down your taxable income.
Since the online calculator is always available, you can start preparing for income tax payments and filing tax returns well in advance. This ensures that you do not miss tax payment due dates or end up paying a penalty.

A Non-Linked Non-Participating Individual Life Insurance Plan (UIN:110N176V02)
Non-Linked, Non-Participating, Individual Life Insurance Savings Plan (UIN: 110N158V09)
Under this revised structure, individuals with an annual income up to ₹12 lakh (₹12.75 lakh for salaried taxpayers after accounting for the standard deduction) will not be liable to pay income tax.
It's important to note that taxpayers opting for the new tax regime cannot avail of exemptions and deductions such as House Rent Allowance (HRA) and those under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. However, the increased standard deduction aims to provide relief to salaried individuals by reducing their taxable income.
For those who choose to remain under the old tax regime, existing exemptions and deductions continue to apply, including:
HRA Exemption: Available for individuals living on rent and receiving HRA as part of their salary.
Section 80C Deductions: Allows deductions up to ₹1.5 lakh for specified investments and expenses.
Section 24B Deductions: Permits deduction of up to ₹2 lakh on interest paid for a home loan.
If a taxpayer opts for the new tax regime, they cannot avail of these exemptions and deductions.
For instance, if an individual has a basic salary of ₹1,00,000 per month and an HRA of ₹50,000, a Special Allowance of ₹21,000 per month, and an LTA (Leave Travel Allowance) of ₹20,000 annually.
Individuals' taxable income differs under the old and new tax regimes due to exemptions and deductions.
Old Tax Regime:
Taxable Income: ₹16,59,500 (after HRA exemption, standard deduction, and professional tax).
Benefit: Allows deductions like HRA and standard exemptions.
New Tax Regime:
Taxable Income: ₹19,97,000 (only a ₹75,000 standard deduction applies).
Benefit: Simplified tax slabs but no exemptions like HRA.
While the new regime offers a streamlined approach, the old regime may still be beneficial for those eligible for deductions. Thus, one should compare all available options before filing taxes.

Income Tax Deduction Section List
The Income Tax Act of 1961 contains several clauses that allow you to deduct your taxable amount. When electronically filing income tax returns, deductions must be noted on the relevant ITR form.
Section 80C:
Only individuals and HUF are eligible for deductions under this section. This clause exempts up to Rs. 1.5 lakh in expenses and certain investments, such as NSC, from taxes.
Section 80CCC:
Payments paid to LIC or any other authorised insurance provider under a valid pension plan are subject to deductions under this section. The pension plan must be taken out of the individual's taxable income and be up to Rs. 1.5 lakh.
Section 80CCD:
Both the employer and the taxpayer may deduct contributions to the New Pension Scheme under this provision. The contribution and the deduction are equal, and they don't exceed 10% of his pay. A total of Rs. 1.5 lakh can be deducted under Sections 80C, 80CCC, and 80CCD. Nevertheless, the Rs. 1.5 lakh cap does not include payments made to the Notified Pension Scheme under Section 80CCD.
Section 80D
Income tax deductions for paid health insurance premiums are covered under Section 80D. Individuals can get insurance coverage that will cover them, their spouse, dependent children, and their parents, whether or not they are dependents, for up to Rs. 15,000.
If the insured is a senior person, there is an extra Rs. 5,000 deductible. Any member may be insured under HUF, and there would be a general deduction of up to Rs. 15,000 plus an additional Rs. 5,000 deductions. Regardless of whether the assessee is an individual or a HUF, a total deduction of Rs. 2.0 lakh may be claimed.
Section 80DDB:
This section covers medical expenses incurred by the assessee, a family member, or any member of a HUF to treat an illness or ailment as defined by the rules (11DD).
Section 80E:
Interest paid on student loans for education in India is eligible for deductions under this clause.
Section 80EE:
This provision addresses first-time homeowner tax savings. People who buy their first property for less than Rs. 40 lakh and take out loans for less than Rs. 25 lakh are covered by Section 80EE.
Section 80RRB:
This section allows for the claim of deductions for income received from royalties or patents. For patents registered under the Patents Act of 1970, income tax savings of up to Rs. 3.0 lakh are possible.
The tax savings that apply to interest generated in savings bank accounts, post offices, or cooperative organisations are covered under Section 80TTA. A deduction of up to Rs. 10,000 can be claimed by individuals and HUFs on interest income.
Section 80U:
When a disabled person presents their disability certificate, they are eligible for a flat income tax reduction. According to the degree of the handicap, up to Rs. 1.0 lakh may be exempt from taxes.
Section 24
Interest paid on tax-exempt housing loans is covered in this section. In addition to the deductions allowed by Sections 80C, 80CCF, and 80D, an annual deduction of up to Rs. 2.0 lakh may be claimed. Only self-occupied properties are covered by this. Tax exemptions are available for properties that are rented out, 30% of rent received, and paid municipal taxes.
If you earn more than the basic exemption limit, you will have to file your income tax returns. And an online IT calculator can help you understand how much income tax you should pay. Also, those who have a taxable income of less than the exemption limit can file a nil return. These are the benefits of filing your income tax returns online:
The Income Tax Act states that only people or companies who are in specific income brackets are required to pay income tax. The following lists the organisations or companies that must file their ITRs in India:
Everyone who earns more than Rs 2.5 lakh in a fiscal year, up to the age of 59. The maximum rises to Rs. 3 lakh for senior persons (60–79 years old) and Rs. 5 lakh for super senior citizens (80 years and above). Remember to enter your gross income before using Section 10 exemptions and Sections 80C–80U deductions when using an income tax calculator. This guarantees precise tax computations based on your entire income.
