How the tax is calculated on ₹1 Crore
The new regime taxes your income in slabs. After the ₹75,000 standard deduction, your taxable income of ₹99,25,000 is split across these slabs, and each part is taxed at its own rate:
| Income slab | Rate | Tax |
|---|---|---|
| ₹0 – ₹4,00,000 | 0% | ₹0 |
| ₹4,00,000 – ₹8,00,000 | 5% | ₹20,000 |
| ₹8,00,000 – ₹12,00,000 | 10% | ₹40,000 |
| ₹12,00,000 – ₹16,00,000 | 15% | ₹60,000 |
| ₹16,00,000 – ₹20,00,000 | 20% | ₹80,000 |
| ₹20,00,000 – ₹24,00,000 | 25% | ₹1,00,000 |
| ₹24,00,000 – ₹99,25,000 | 30% | ₹22,57,500 |
| Tax before rebate | ₹25,57,500 | |
Your taxable income is above the ₹12,00,000 Section 87A rebate limit, so no rebate applies. Adding the 4% health and education cess of ₹1,02,300 to the ₹25,57,500 slab tax gives a total of ₹26,59,800 — an effective rate of 26.6% on your full ₹1 Crore salary.
