Slab-wise tax breakup (new)

How is income tax calculated in India?

The Income Tax Department applies progressive slabs to your taxable income (gross income minus eligible deductions). For FY 2025-26, taxpayers can choose between the Old regime (with ₹50k standard deduction + 80C/80D/HRA/etc.) or the New regime (with ₹75k standard deduction and zero tax up to ₹12L thanks to the 87A rebate).

New regime slabs (FY 2025-26): 0% up to ₹4L · 5% (₹4–8L) · 10% (₹8–12L) · 15% (₹12–16L) · 20% (₹16–20L) · 25% (₹20–24L) · 30% above ₹24L.

On the calculated tax: 87A rebate nullifies tax for income up to ₹12L (new) / ₹5L (old). Surcharge applies above ₹50L (10–25%) and 4% Health & Education Cess on top of everything.
