See which regime likely leaves more annual cash after income tax + cess for the same gross — old side can include PF in 80C, other 80C, and HRA exemption you type in. This is a planning estimate only: no surcharge, no proofs, no Form 16 match.
How SalaryExit calculates estimates (methodology, FY scope, and limits).
Most people don’t feel “tax regime” in the abstract — they feel rent, EMIs, and whether anything is left at month-end. This screen only answers which regime taxes your salary harder in our simplified model. If old regime wins here but you hate collecting proofs, that’s a real-life cost this math ignores.
New regime often looks clean until you remember you’re not modeling full HRA, home loan, or NPS the way your CA would. Use the result as a directional nudge, then talk to someone qualified before locking declarations for the year.

Not tax filing advice
Use this only as a planning estimate. Actual tax depends on proofs, employer calculations, and other income.
Outputs are annualized estimates — see the accuracy card for regime limits in this engine.

Not automatically. This tool ignores many real-world factors. Your employer’s regime choice, deductions, and long-term plans matter.
Form 16 uses actual TDS, proofs, and payroll timing. This is an annualized simplified model.
