How this number is worked out
A ₹1 Crore salary pays ₹26,59,800 of income tax in FY 2025-26 under the new (default) regime. The working: subtract the ₹75,000 standard deduction to get taxable income of ₹99,25,000, apply the slab rates (nil to ₹4L, then 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% bands), giving ₹25,57,500, and add 4% cess of ₹1,02,300. Spread over the year that is roughly ₹2,21,650 of TDS a month.
This figure assumes a plain salaried case with no other income and no old-regime deductions. If you claim large deductions — HRA on rent, ₹2L of home-loan interest, a maxed 80C — the old regime can beat this number; if you have capital gains or freelance income, the total changes too. The calculator below computes both regimes side by side on your exact numbers.
