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 30% — every additional ₹1 you earn keeps roughly ₹0.70 after tax and EPF.
