How the tax is calculated
Yearly salary is Rs 6,600,000. It falls in the slab starting at Rs 5,600,000, which charges Rs 976,000 plus 32% of income above Rs 5,600,000. Tax = Rs 976,000 + 32% × Rs 1,000,000 = Rs 1,296,000 a year, or Rs 108,000 a month.
These are the salaried-class slabs from the Finance Act 2026, for salary earned from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027 (tax year 2027). Salary up to Rs 600,000 a year (Rs 50,000 a month) is tax-free.
