How to use this calculator
- Enter the target net pay and the deductions or exemptions you expect.
- Choose the regime and the period of the target to match your situation.
- Read the estimated gross salary and the tax at that level in the result.
This is an iterative estimate; actual take-home depends on the structure of pay and employer policy.
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.
