How this is calculated

The ₹75,000 standard deduction comes off your gross salary first. The result is taxed through the seven new-regime slabs. If your taxable income lands at ₹12 lakh or below, the eligible Section 156 rebate can cancel the entire tax; just above ₹12 lakh, marginal relief caps your tax at the amount you exceed the limit by, so earning ₹100 more can never cost you thousands. Health & education cess of 4% is added to the final tax.

Common questions

What changed in Budget 2026? +

Nothing in the slabs — Budget 2026 retained the FY 2025-26 structure (₹4L exemption, rebate to ₹12L). The new Income Tax Act 2025 takes effect from 1 April 2026 but carries the same rates for individuals.

Old regime or new regime — which is better? +

That depends on your income and eligible claims. Compare your actual 80C, 80D and HRA amounts in the linked income tax calculator; this page models the new regime only.

Why does the rebate stop at ₹12 lakh taxable income? +

Section 156 targets relief at lower and middle incomes. Marginal relief prevents a cliff edge: if your taxable income is ₹12.1 lakh, the tax before cess can be limited to ₹10,000 (the excess over ₹12 lakh) rather than the slab-calculated ~₹61,500.

Sources & method. Income-tax Act 2025 applies from 1 April 2026; section 202 covers the new regime and section 156 covers the rebate. New-regime slab rates match the prior FY structure, but the tax-year terminology and law changed. Resident salary up to ₹12.75L can yield zero slab tax after a ₹75,000 standard deduction and rebate, excluding special-rate income. Marginal relief applies just above ₹12L taxable. Surcharge, EPF and other deductions are excluded by default.
