FAQ

Which regime is better, new or old?

It depends on your deductions. The new regime has lower slab rates but disallows most deductions; the old regime is usually better only when you fully utilise 80C, 80D, HRA, and home-loan interest.

Is the standard deduction included?

Yes — ₹75,000 in the new regime and ₹50,000 in the old regime for salaried individuals. You can switch it off if you are not salaried.

Does this include surcharge for high incomes?

No — this is a simplified estimator. It applies slab rates and 4% cess but does not compute surcharge for incomes above ₹50L.

What is the 87A rebate?

If your taxable income is up to ₹7L (new regime) or ₹5L (old regime), the entire tax is rebated, making your tax zero.
