THE NUMBERS, EXPLAINED
Your 2025-26 income tax at a glance
Financial year 2025–26 covers 1 Apr 2025 – 31 Mar 2026. Income earned in this financial year is assessed in AY 2026-27 under the Income-tax Act 1961.
The rebate threshold is INR 12 lakh of taxable income. The standard deduction is INR 75,000.
A higher slab rate only applies to the portion of income in that band. Your effective tax rate is total income tax divided by gross salary.
2025-26 salary tax slabs
Annual taxable income, in INR. Salary is reduced by up to INR 75,000 standard deduction before these bands apply. Each percentage applies only within its band.
| Annual taxable income band | Rate on this band |
|---|---|
| Up to INR 4,00,000 | 0% |
| Above INR 4,00,000 to INR 8,00,000 | 5% |
| Above INR 8,00,000 to INR 12,00,000 | 10% |
| Above INR 12,00,000 to INR 16,00,000 | 15% |
| Above INR 16,00,000 to INR 20,00,000 | 20% |
| Above INR 20,00,000 to INR 24,00,000 | 25% |
| Above INR 24,00,000 | 30% |
For taxable income up to INR 12,00,000, a rebate of up to INR 60,000 reduces slab tax. Just above the threshold, marginal relief may apply. Surcharge is 10%, 15%, or 25% when taxable income exceeds INR 50 lakh, INR 1 crore, or INR 2 crore respectively, with marginal relief. Cess is 4% after rebate and surcharge relief.
A few worked examples
Full-year cash salary under the supported profile. These figures use this page’s 2025-26 rules.
| Annual gross | Annual income tax | Annual salary after tax |
|---|---|---|
| INR 7,75,000 | INR 0 | INR 7,75,000 |
| INR 12,75,000 | INR 0 | INR 12,75,000 |
| INR 18,00,000 | INR 1,50,800 | INR 16,49,200 |
| INR 60,00,000 | INR 15,52,980 | INR 44,47,020 |
For INR 18,00,000 annual gross: INR 75,000 standard deduction is subtracted; slab tax is INR 1,45,000, then applicable rebate, relief, surcharge and INR 5,800 cess are applied. Final annual income tax is INR 1,50,800.
A little more clarity
Is this the amount I will receive in my bank account?
No. This is salary after income tax. Provident fund, pension, insurance, loan repayments and other payroll deductions may reduce your payslip take-home further. We do not guess those amounts.
What if my salary changes during the year?
This estimate assumes the same salary for all twelve months. Bonuses, arrears, salary changes and partial-year employment are outside its scope. Monthly output is an annual average, not your employer’s withholding schedule.
Does this choose between the old and new regimes?
No. It estimates the default new regime only. The old regime may suit some taxpayers, but comparing exemptions and deductions requires a fuller review of your circumstances.
Why can my employer’s monthly tax be different?
Employers can adjust withholding for earlier deductions and the salary expected over the remaining year. This calculator estimates full-year liability, rounds final tax, and divides it by twelve. It does not reconcile tax already paid.
Do you store my salary?
No. Calculations run in your browser. Salary values are not placed in URLs, browser storage, analytics or contact messages. Changing country or year clears the input.
