Income Tax Calculator FY 2021-22 Excel Download(AY 2022-23)

Every year the taxpayers especially the salaried persons keep on waiting for the Finance Budget hoping that there will be some tax reliefs, additional tax deductions or an increase in income tax slabs so that their total tax outlay gets reduced.

So did they for the Finance Budget 2021, but ironically they got disappointed. This may be due to the COVID 19 pandemic situation as well.

Unfortunately, there have not been any such changes in Budget 2021 as far as the income tax slabs, income tax rates and deductions are concerned. The Govt. has been silent on the income tax matters as far as possible and practicable.

In this article, I will be discussing How to calculate Income Tax for the FY 2021-22 and AY 2022-23 using the Income Tax Calculator FY 2021-22 Excel Download tool.

As far as the salaried employees and the professionals are concerned, Budget 2021 has not been very much exciting apart from getting the additional housing loan interest benefit under the affordable housing scheme for loans taken in between 01.04.2019-31.03.2020 and it has been extended up to 31^st March 2022 U/S 80EEA.

Therefore, the income tax slabs, rates and other deduction benefits are almost the same for the FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22 respectively for the old tax regime.

Further, the Finance Budget 2021 did not utter a single word i.r.o old and the new tax regime for any changes or updates whatsoever.

Therefore for the FY 2021-22, both tax regimes will be functioning parallelly. A taxpayer has the option to choose his/her preferred tax regime once a year.

Income Tax Calculator for Salaried Employees AY 2022-23 in Excel Old and New

Budget 2021 has been most disappointing for the salaried employees so far. Neither there has been any slab changes, nor any additional tax benefits. Only benefits for the new home buyers U/S 80EEA has been extended for one more year.

Now let us take an example for a salaried person and see how this excel based calculator depicts the results.

Example 1– Mr Sourav, age 45 years, received gross salary between ₹5 lakh to ₹20 Lakh for F.Y 2021-22. His investment in Section 80C is ₹1.5 Lakh and Mediclaim insurance U/S 80D is ₹25,000 only. Professional Tax deduction ₹2,400 per year. Compute his tax liability under both tax regimes.

Therefore it is quite evident from the above comparison that the New Tax regime is beneficial only when your total income exceeds ₹15 Lakh and you don’t have any interest repayment on housing loan U/S 24.

Which Tax Regime is best for you-Old or New?

It is seen from the above comparison table that for an annual income up to ₹15 Lakh, the Old tax regime is more beneficial considering the full 80C deductions and 80D deduction of ₹25,000.

But the scenarios get changed if Housing Loan interest is paid to the tune of ₹1 Lakh. If any HBL interest is paid, then for every income level, as shown above, the Old Tax regime will be a complete winner.

So, it can be said that interest on repayment of a Housing Loan plays a pivotal role in deciding which tax regime is best suited for you.

Therefore, if you pay any interest on your Housing Loan, it is suggested that you choose the Old tax regime, as it will ensure that your total tax outlay is reduced to some extent.
