TDS Calculator
Estimate your monthly TDS deduction from salary (India).
Simplified estimate, not a payroll calculation. Assumes only the standard deduction (no 80C/HRA/other deductions factored in here — use the Income Tax Calculator for a full deduction-aware comparison first, then divide that annual tax by remaining months yourself for a more accurate figure). Actual employer TDS calculation methods vary and may differ from this estimate.
How this works
Estimated annual tax (based on your chosen regime's slabs) ÷ months remaining in the financial year = approximate monthly TDS. Employers typically estimate your annual tax at the start of the year and deduct it in roughly equal monthly installments, adjusting as your actual income or declared investments change through the year.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my actual TDS differ from this estimate?
Employers factor in your declared 80C/HRA/other investment proofs, any other income you've declared, and may recompute TDS multiple times a year as circumstances change — this tool only estimates from gross income and regime.
Can I get excess TDS refunded?
Yes — if more TDS was deducted than your actual final tax liability, you claim the difference as a refund when filing your income tax return.
