The best part of the end of the month is the expectation of obtaining your salary but income tax can be a dampener on your joy. Most of us receive our salaries by the first half of the month. Our employers are bound by law to deduct income tax on salary for us as individuals before they disburse the monthly wage. But it is the individual who is responsible for payment of income tax and submission of income tax returns at the end of every financial year.
Calculate Income Tax on Salary
Income is usually calculated by adding basic salary, HRA, transport allowance, special allowance, perquisites, and all the other allowances together. Some of these allowances are exempted from income tax slab and to get all possible deductions, you need to calculate it well.
Income tax deduction by employers on the salary of employees is done mandatorily in India. The employer needs to subtract the applicable amount of income tax based on the estimated income of the employee and deposit the same with the government.
The tax schedule for financial year 2017-18 are shown below:

Deductions
The government grants tax exemption (under Section 80C and 80D) which allows a person to apply income deductions from taxable income based on certain investments she is allowed to make for the purposes of tax saving in that financial year. These tax saving instruments must then be subtracted from total annual earnings. What remains will be the amount on which existing tax rates will apply.
Some typical components of salary on which income tax exemption falls are given below:
- House Rent Allowance – If an employee lives in a rented accommodation and receives HRA from her employer, she can declare this amount as a tax deduction
- Conveyance/ Travel Allowance – Such an allowance is tax-exempt as part of an expense.
- Medical Allowance – To claim this tax deduction the employee must furnish medical bills when filing tax returns.
