Income tax on salary — full table (FY 2025-26, new vs old regime)

Approximate income tax for a salaried individual with salary income only and no additional deductions, for FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27). New-regime figures include the Section 87A rebate and ₹75,000 standard deduction; old-regime figures use the ₹50,000 standard deduction with no Chapter VI-A deductions.

How these figures are calculated

The numbers assume salary income only with the standard deduction applied and no other exemptions or Chapter VI-A deductions (80C, 80D, HRA, etc.). Under the new regime the ₹75,000 standard deduction and the Section 87A rebate (up to ₹60,000 on total income up to ₹12,00,000) apply; that is why salaries up to ₹12 lakh show ₹0 tax. Above ₹12 lakh the rebate no longer applies and the new-regime slabs (5% / 10% / 15% / 20% / 25% / 30%) take over, with marginal relief just above the threshold. The old-regime column uses the ₹50,000 standard deduction and no deductions — most people reduce this substantially with 80C, 80D and HRA. All figures include the 4% health & education cess.

These are indicative estimates, not professional advice. Your actual tax depends on your exact salary structure, other income, exemptions and deductions — use the full ITR calculator for a precise figure.
