Your details

Section 87A rebate
Applied automatically once your taxable income falls under the year's threshold. Check this if part of your income is taxed at special rates — like long-term or short-term capital gains — since a 2023 amendment means 87A no longer covers tax on those, regardless of your total income.
Available in both regimesOld + New
Usually capped at 10% of basic salary (14% for government employees). Enter the amount you're eligible for — this is the one deduction the new regime still allows.

The breakdown

How this compares across years

YearOld regimeNew regime
Same income and deductions, held fixed — only the year changes. Deduction rules (like the new-regime standard deduction) changed across these years, which is why totals aren't perfectly parallel even though your inputs didn't.
Not tax advice. This estimates liability from published slab structures — it doesn't account for every deduction, exemption, marginal-relief edge case, or surcharge nuance (tier-by-tier marginal relief above ₹50L, for instance, is simplified here). Deduction caps reflect general rules; actual eligibility can vary by individual circumstances. FY 2025-26 figures are the newest in this build and worth confirming independently. Check everything against the Income Tax Department or a qualified CA before filing.
