How to use this calculator
- Enter the months of rent, basic salary, HRA received if any, and the rent paid.
- Choose whether the period includes HRA to match your situation.
- Read the relief under the applicable route and the lowest limit that set it in the result.
The routes are exclusive for the same period; confirm which one fits each month of rent.
The result is an estimate for the figures you enter. It is not a filed return, a certificate or professional advice. Rates, thresholds and section numbers change with each Finance Act, and the Income-tax Act, 2025 applies from 1 April 2026 with new section and form numbers.
