From a free tool to your own software
Software for CA firms and payroll tax teams
Tax practitioners and payroll teams run the same regime comparison for every client and employee each year, collecting investment proofs over email and re-entering figures into worksheets. Mistakes surface later as mismatched TDS or a notice. Purpose-built software collects declarations, applies the rules for whichever year you configure and keeps every computation traceable.

Questions people ask
What are the new regime tax slabs for FY 2026-27?
0–4L: nil, 4–8L: 5%, 8–12L: 10%, 12–16L: 15%, 16–20L: 20%, 20–24L: 25%, above 24L: 30% — plus 4% cess on the tax. These figures are shown here as verified in August 2026; always check the current Finance Act before filing.
Is income up to ₹12.75 lakh really tax-free under the new regime?
Yes, for a salaried taxpayer with no other deductions: the ₹75,000 standard deduction brings a ₹12.75 lakh salary down to ₹12 lakh taxable income, and the ₹60,000 rebate (available up to that exact threshold) wipes the computed tax to zero.
How much tax on a ₹15 lakh salary in the new regime?
About ₹97,500 including cess, after the ₹75,000 standard deduction brings taxable income to ₹14,25,000 — this calculator shows the exact slab-wise split for your own salary figure.
Which regime is better — new or old?
The new regime wins for most salaried people without large deductions, since it has wider slabs and a bigger rebate. The old regime can win if you have substantial 80C investments, a home loan, HRA exemption and 80D insurance stacked together — enter your figures in the deductions panel and let the calculator compare.
What is marginal relief and when does it apply?
Just above the rebate threshold (₹12 lakh taxable in the new regime), the rule caps your tax at the amount your income exceeds ₹12 lakh by — so someone earning ₹12.1 lakh taxable never ends up with less take-home than someone earning exactly ₹12 lakh. This calculator applies it automatically when it kicks in.
Can I switch tax regimes every year?
Salaried taxpayers with no business income can choose their regime afresh each year while filing their return — there is no lock-in. Those with business or professional income face restrictions on switching back to the old regime after opting for the new one.
