You are liable to pay Income Tax to government based on your Income, so this calculator will help you calculate your Income Tax so that you don’t get any surprises and plan accordingly.
Overview
- In FY 2024-25, there are 2 tax regimes – Old Tax Regime and New Tax Regime
- When you have certain income, you have to pay income tax on your income you generate in a FY (Financial Year), which is between April month to March month of next year. April 2024 to March 2025 in this case
- During this period, you need to pay income tax on total income you earn in the FY
- Now, based on the 2 tax regimes, you will reach 2 figures of income tax. You can plan and decide which one you should choose to pay less income tax.
- Old Tax Regime – This regime has slab rates that are unchanged from a long time. It allows you to have some investment options to help you save income tax by deducting the investment amounts under various sections
- New Tax Regime – This regime was introduced in Budget 2020 and has slightly reduced tax slab rates. This regime was introduced to help you lower the burden of income tax you were paying in previous years using Old tax regime. But new tax regime does not allow any deductions (except Standard Deduction in FY 2024-25) to be claimed if you make any investments, to save more income tax. You pay tax on entire amount you earn in FY.

Old vs New Tax regime Slab Rates
Below are the Old and New Tax Slab Rates for all Age groups:
The New Tax Slab Rates are same for all age groups.
For Age between 60 – 80 years, 5% slab is for income between Rs. 3,00,000 to Rs. 5,00,000 under Old Slab Rates.
For Age above 80 years, 5% slab rate is not applicable in Old Slab Rate. So people in this age group can belong to only 20% or 30% Slab Rate.
How to Calculate Income Tax Examples
Let’s take example of income = Rs. 10 Lakh in FY (April 2024-March 2025)
Tax Calculation with Old Tax Regime
Since income = Rs. 10 Lacs, taxable income will be Rs. 9.5 lakh after including standard deduction of Rs. 50,000 , based on old slab rates – you pay 0% tax on income between Rs. 0 to Rs. 2.5 Lacs, 5% tax on income between Rs. 2.5 Lacs to Rs. 5 Lacs and 20% tax on income between Rs. 5 Lacs to Rs. 9.5 Lacs. So below is the calculation:
0% Tax (Rs. 0 – Rs. 2.5 Lacs) = Rs. 0
5% Tax (Rs. 2.5 Lacs to Rs. 5 Lacs) = Rs. 12,500 (on Rs. 2.5 Lacs difference)
20% Tax (Rs. 5 Lacs to Rs. 9.5 Lacs) = Rs. 90,000 (on Rs. 4.5 Lacs difference)
This makes your intermediate tax as Rs. 1,02,500. Now an additional 4% cess is applicable on this amount which is Rs. 4,100, which makes your total income tax based on Old Tax Regime = Rs. 1,06,600
| Income Brackets | Old Tax Regime Slabs | Income Tax |
|---|---|---|
| Rs. 0 – Rs. 2.5 Lacs | 0% | Rs. 0 |
| Rs. 2.5 Lacs – Rs. 5 Lacs | 5% | Rs. 12,500 |
| Rs. 5 Lacs – Rs. 8 Lacs | 20% | Rs. 90,000 |
| Cess | 4% (on Rs. 1,02,500) | Rs. 4,100 |
| Total Income Tax | Rs. 1,06,600 |
In above calculation, we have considered Standard Deduction of Rs. 50,000 which must be applied if you are Salaried employee or pensioner. You can also make more investments to save income tax under various sections with old tax regime. Various tax saving options are mentioned below in this article.
Let us now see income tax calculation using New Tax Regime
Tax Calculation with New Tax Regime
With same example of income = Rs. 10 Lacs, taxable income will be Rs. 9.25 lakh after considering standard deduction of Rs. 75,000 and based on new slab rates – you pay 0% tax on income between Rs. 0 to Rs. 3 Lacs, 5% tax on income between Rs. 3 Lacs to Rs. 7 Lacs and 10% tax on income between Rs. 7 Lacs to Rs. 9.25 Lacs. So below is the calculation:
0% Tax (Rs. 0 – Rs. 3 Lacs) = Rs. 0
5% Tax (Rs. 3 Lacs to Rs. 7 Lacs) = Rs. 20,000 (on Rs. 4 Lacs difference)
10% Tax (Rs. 7 Lacs to Rs. 9.25 Lacs) = Rs. 22,500 (on Rs. 2.25 Lacs difference)
This makes your intermediate tax as Rs. 42,500. Now an additional 4% cess is applicable on this amount which is Rs. 1,700, which makes your total income tax based on New Tax Regime = Rs. 44,200.
| Income Brackets | New Tax Regime Slabs | Income Tax |
|---|---|---|
| Rs. 0 – Rs. 3 Lacs | 0% | Rs. 0 |
| Rs. 3 Lacs – Rs. 7 Lacs | 5% | Rs. 20,000 |
| Rs. 7 – Rs. 9.25 Lacs | 10% | Rs. 22,500 |
| Cess | 4% (on Rs. 42,500) | Rs. 1,700 |
| Total Income Tax | Rs. 44,200 |
In this case, you pay less income tax with new tax regime. We have considered standard deduction of Rs. 75,000 in our example, which will be applicable in New tax regime as well from FY 2024-25 if you are salaried employee or pensioner.

Old vs new Tax Regime – Which is Better for You?
To answer this question, selecting between old and new tax regime depends on person to person. The selection depends on your total income and investments (if any). Every individual is having different incomes in a Financial Year.
As we saw in above Income Tax slab rates, if your income is in the range of Rs. 5 Lacs to Rs. 12 Lacs, you can opt for Old Income Tax Slab rate, make some Tax saving investments and Save Income Tax.
But if your income is above Rs. 12 Lacs, there is not much option to save maximum income tax. Even after making investments with maximum limits in different sections, you’ll still be paying more taxes with old tax regime compared to new tax regime.
Below is the graph showing the comparison of income vs income tax:
As seen above, green line depicts income tax with new tax regime, which is low when your income moves greater than 12 Lacs. Blue line (old regime with investments) is still above green line which shows that even after investments you’ll more more income tax with old slab rates compared to new slab rates.
So you should make your investments according to your total income and based on the calculations of income tax in both regimes. Choose the one that helps you pay less income tax.
