About Income Tax on ₹8 Lakh Salary

An ₹8 lakh salary pays no tax in the new regime. After the ₹75,000 standard deduction the taxable income is ₹7.25 lakh, the slab tax is ₹16,250 (5% of the ₹3.25 lakh above ₹4 lakh), and the 87A rebate removes all of it.

The old regime charges ₹65,000 including cess with only the standard deduction, and ₹18,200 with ₹2.25 lakh of 80C, 80D and NPS. It reaches nil only when deductions total ₹2.5 lakh, so the new regime is the simpler choice at this salary.

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.

Questions people ask

How much tax on an 8 lakh CTC?

If ₹8 lakh is your gross salary, nil in the new regime. If your CTC also counts employer PF and gratuity, your taxable salary is lower still, so the tax is nil too.

Will TDS be deducted on an 8 lakh salary?

The new regime is the default, and the projected tax is nil after the rebate, so your employer should not deduct TDS on salary.

Is the old regime worth keeping at 8 lakh?

Only if you already have ₹2.5 lakh or more of deductions, such as HRA, 80C and 80D. Then both regimes are nil.
