How does the income tax calculator work?

Certain incomes like agricultural income, gratuity (within limits), and public provident fund maturity amount including interest etc. are tax-free.
For individuals below 60, income up to Rs. 2,50,000 is non-taxable. Under the new regime, income up to Rs. 3,00,000 is tax-free. For FY 2025-26 onwards, the maximum limit under the new regime has been raised to Rs. 4 lakh.
Anyone earning above the basic exemption limit must file an ITR. Here are the general eligibility criteria:
Income threshold:
Individuals below 60 years: Total income exceeds Rs. 2,50,000.
Senior citizens (60-80 years): Total income exceeds Rs. 3,00,000.
Super senior citizens (above 80 years): Total income exceeds Rs. 5,00,000.
There are certain other conditions and exemptions. For full details, consult a tax advisor.
Typically, ITR filing for individuals begins on April 1 and the due date is July 31 of the assessment year.
• Exemptions reduce taxable income directly (e.g., HRA, LTA). • Deductions are amounts subtracted from income before tax is calculated (e.g., 80C, 80D under the old regime of the Income Tax Act, 1961).
- values: The range of cells that contains the cash flows.
- dates: The range of cells that contains the corresponding dates.
The Union Budget 2025 overhauled the tax slabs for the new regime of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and increased the rebate limit to Rs. 60,000. This effectively makes incomes of up to Rs. 12 lakh tax-free (after claiming rebate). You can read our detailed article about the 2025 Budget here.
