How to calculate income tax


 How to calculate Income Tax

Every year Government gives tax slabs based on these tax we calculate tax on our income earned.

Income Tax slabs for financial year 2024 -2025

  Income earned                       Tax percentage

0 - 3,00,000 lakh rupees.           0%

3,00,000 - 7 lakh rupees.            5%

7 - 10 lakhs rupees.                     10%

10 - 12 lakhs rupees.                    15%

12 - 15 lakhs rupees.                    20%

15 lakhs and above.                      30% 


Taxable income = Gross Salary - Deductions

Income Tax = Taxable income * Tax rate


If you earn upto 3 lakhs  tax on your income is 0 (zero) because tax rate for income upto 3 lakhs is 0 %.


Example if a person earns 9 lakhs per year then 

For 0 - 3,00,000 lakhs rupees is has to pay no tax i.e 0 rupees.

And for 3,00,000 - 7 lakhs rupees he has to pay 5% of his income that is

7 minus 3 is 4 so for  4 lakhs 5 % is 

      4,00,000 *5 /100= 20,000

   So he has to pay 20,000 rupees tax

And for 7 lakhs - 9 lakhs 

   9 minus 7 is 2 so tax slab for this income is 10%.

    2,00,000 *10/100= 20,000

So tax is 20,000 rupees

So Total tax for 9 lakhs rupees annual income is 20,000 +20,000= 40,000 rupees.


Surcharge : 

Surcharge is the amount to be paid by tax payer on amount of tax he paid.

That is simply Tax on amount of Tax paid.

For example if you pay tax amount of 

1 lakh rupees then if surcharge rate is 10% then you need to pay 10,000 rupees as surcharge that is additional tax.

Surcharge  rate on different income

If your net tax amount is less than 50 lakhs then there is no surcharge.

Surcharge rates

0 to 50 lakhs no surcharge

50 lakhs to 1 crore surcharge rate is 10%

1 crore to 2 crore surcharge rate is 15%

2 crore to 5 crore surcharge is 20%

5 crore and above surcharge is 37% under old tax regime but under new tax regime it is 25%.

Winter Solstice or December Solstice

Equinoxes and solstices are a result of two things: Earth’s tilt and its orbit around the Sun. Solstice,  the term comes from the Latin words  sol  and  sistere , meaning  “Sun”  and  “to stand still” . Initially, the naming arose from observations of how the Sun’s apparent path across the sky changes slightly from one day to the next, which is caused by the same process as the subsolar point's movement described above. In the months leading up to the December solstice, the position of  sunrise and sunset  creeps southward. On the day of the solstice, it reaches its southernmost point. After that, the daily path of the Sun across the sky begins to creep northward again. The  winter solstice , also called the  hibernal solstice , occurs when either of  Earth 's  poles  reaches its maximum  tilt  away from the  Sun . This happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere ( Northern  and  Southern )....
