What is an Income Tax Calculator?

The Income Tax Act 1961 in India establishes the basis of laws and regulations that measure income for Indian residents and non-resident Indians who receive in any financial year from various sources and occupations. There are separate provisions under this Act that include multiple revenue sources and expenditure and their consideration to determine an assessee’s income tax. Besides, the Act provides multiple deductions and exemptions given to taxpayers in separate sections for tax relief. The laws of the Income Tax Act 1961 are long and tough, making it impossible for a common taxpayer to measure his income tax liabilities, which is why it is better to calculate his income tax liability.

For individuals, self-employed workers and business people, the measurement of income tax are distinct. Besides, the measure often depends on an organisation’s disposition that may be a self-owned corporation, a joint business, or a company. The source of profits that may be wage or company income, rental income, lottery income, capital gains, securities revenue, and many other heads is another factor. The income tax is measured based on the individual’s gross income, which includes income from the following sources:

  • Income from Salary
  • Income from House Property
  • Income from Business and Profession
  • Income from Capital Gain
  • Income from Other Sources

The bulk of India’s income tax calculator is built to measure the tax payable to salaried people, who make up the largest proportion of the country’s overall taxpayers. You will use the online income tax calculator of Dialabank to measure the amount of tax a salaried taxpayer needs to pay based on his wage income, income from other sources and different allowances and exemptions applicable to him under the different provisions of the Income Tax Act.

How to calculate Income Tax for Salaried? – Example

Clubbing the amount earned as Basic Wage, Dearness Allowance, HRA, Travel Allowance, and every other allowance determine the revenue from salary. The Income Tax Act also exempts such salary items, such as telephone bill repayment, travel leave exemption, etc. Furthermore, if you live on rent and earn an HRA, a part of your HRA will also be excluded, which will be calculated by the HRA exemption estimate.

There is a mandatory allowance of 50,000, along with a maximum tax rebate of 12,500 for salaried persons.

Let us use an example to explain the existing income tax estimate and the proposed tax regime. Aashi gets a base wage of about 80,000 per month. Her HRA is about 40,000 a month, and she gets a separate allowance of about 15,000 per month. She gets an annual LTA of 15,000, pays a monthly rent of 30,000 and lives in Mumbai.

For the income tax calculator, you need to include income from all sources like:

  • Firstly, the pay money earned by the contractor is included.
  • Next, money received from house lands, such as rental income or interest charged on the home loan deduction.
  • Thirdly, capital benefit profits resulting from the selling of shares or properties such as house ownership.
  • Require earnings received by any company or occupation, such as freelancing or any other company or profession.
  • Finally, it requires earnings from other sources, such as deposit interest income, small income, etc.

Thus, Aashi also got around 5,000 from a fixed deposit as interest income. She has also made an investment of around 50,000 in PPF. The LIC premium charged by her is about 9,000, and the premium for medical benefits is about 8,000.
