| Annual taxable salary | Tax |
|---|---|
| Up to Rs 600,000 | 0% |
| Rs 600,001 – Rs 1,200,000 | 1% of the amount over Rs 600,000 |

The 9% surcharge has been removed
Until Tax Year 2026, salaried people with income over Rs 10 million paid a 9% surcharge on top of their income tax. The Finance Act 2026 changed section 4AB so that no surcharge is payable, so this calculator does not add one.
How the calculation works
- A monthly salary is multiplied by 12 to give the annual salary.
- The calculator finds your slab and applies the fixed amount plus the slab rate on the amount above the slab’s starting point.
- Annual tax is divided by 12 for the monthly figure, and take-home pay is salary minus tax.
Example: a salary of Rs 200,000 a month is Rs 2,400,000 a year. Tax is Rs 116,000 + 20% of Rs 200,000 = Rs 156,000 a year, or Rs 13,000 a month.
What this calculator does not include
- Exempt allowances or perquisites, and how your employer values them.
- Tax credits and reductions, for example for donations or pension fund contributions.
- Income from business, property, savings or other sources, and any other tax rules that apply to them.
