An Income-tax calculator is an online tool that helps to evaluate taxes based on a person's income based on Union Budget 2023-24 announcement. Individuals falling under the taxable income bracket are liable to pay a specific portion of their net annual income as tax.

While announcing the Budget for the financial year beginning April 1, 2023, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said, "We are also making the new income tax regime as the default tax regime. However, citizens will continue to have the option to avail the benefit of the old tax regime."

As per the announcement, taxpayers opting for the new regime will get a rebate if their income does not exceed 7 lakh per annum.

The finance minister also allowed a standard deduction of 50,000 under the new regime which is already available in the old tax regime. The basic exemption limit has been raised to 3 lakh from 2.5 lakh. A 2.5 lakh basic exemption limit is prescribed in the old tax regime.

The move will lead to a saving of 33,800 for those earning up to 7 lakh annually and opting for the new tax regime. Those with income up to 10 lakh would save 23,400 and 49,400 savings would accrue to those earning up to 15 lakh.
