About Income Tax on ₹13 Lakh Salary

A ₹13 lakh salary leaves ₹12.25 lakh of taxable income after the ₹75,000 standard deduction, just above the ₹12 lakh rebate limit. The slab tax would be ₹63,750, but marginal relief caps the tax at the income above ₹12 lakh, ₹25,000, so you pay ₹26,000 with cess.

Marginal relief fades out quickly: it stops mattering at about ₹12.7 lakh of taxable income, a ₹13.45 lakh salary. The old regime charges ₹1,95,000 with only the standard deduction and ₹1,24,800 with ₹2.25 lakh of deductions, so the new regime is far lower here.

How it works

  1. Choose your age group and enter your gross salary and any other income.
  2. If you are thinking of the old regime, open its deductions and add HRA, 80C, 80D and home loan interest.
  3. Compare the two totals, see how much the cheaper regime saves, and copy the comparison.
