But to calculate how much tax is actually to be paid, the government has released a new income tax calculator. The Income Tax Department has released this new calculator so that taxpayers can know how much tax they are saving. This calculator is for the financial year 2024-25 and 2025-26.
How to use the Income Tax Calculator?
The Income Tax Calculator compares the new tax regime and the old tax regime you should choose and shows how much tax you can save from 1 April 2025. To use it you need to:
- You will have to select your residential status (where you live)
- You will have to enter your taxable income
- The calculator will show you complete details about tax, including how much tax will have to be paid in the current financial year (FY 2024-25) and how much tax will have to be paid in the new rules (FY 2025-26) as per Budget 2025.
