How to Calculate Total Income Tax Liability?
While determining the total income tax payable through an online income tax calculator, enter the accurate data about the following in the tax calculator:
- Your gross yearly income from profits/salary
- Income from investments, rent, and other sources
- Tax exemptions if they are applicable
- Transport allowance and house rent
Once you fill these, you will be able to see your total income tax liability. If TDS is automatically deducted from your salary, you can check Form 26AS, which functions as a TDS calculator.
Simply subtract the TDS from the total income tax liability to get the amount you need to submit online via Challan 280. If you pay more than the total tax liability, the government reimburses the difference within a month of filing your income tax.
In case you file the IT returns after the due date, you will have to pay a penalty under Section 234F and interest under Section 234A. The due dates can vary based on your source of income. If you are employed and are earning a salary, your due date for filing income tax returns is July 31 of the assessment year.
Let us take the example of Rajesh, who has an annual income of Rs.18 Lakh and has investments worth Rs.2.5 Lakh. Here is how his income tax liability would be computed under both the old and new tax regimes for FY 2025-26:
| Particulars | Old Tax Regime | New Tax Regime |
