How your tax is calculated

Under the new regime the first ₹3,00,000 is tax-free, then 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 30% bands apply. The employee EPF contribution of 12% of basic pay is deducted separately. Old-regime deductions such as 80C are not applied. Your marginal rate is 5% — every additional ₹1 you earn keeps roughly ₹0.95 after tax and EPF.

What if…

₹750,000 instead? Your take-home rises by roughly ₹69/month — see ₹750,000 after tax.
With a 5% pension contribution, your monthly take-home would be ₹47,313 but you'd save around ₹1,750 in income tax over the year.
10 hours of overtime a month at time-and-a-half would add about ₹4,433 to your monthly take-home.
