FY 2024-25 vs FY 2025-26 Tax Comparison

About the FY 2024-25 vs FY 2025-26 Tax Comparison

Enter your income once and see tax computed under both FY 2024-25 (AY 2025-26) and FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27) new-regime rules side by side — a direct answer to "how much did the Budget actually save me."

How it works

The same income is run through both years' new-regime slab structures, standard deductions, and 87A rebate thresholds. FY 2025-26 raised the standard deduction to ₹75,000 (from ₹50,000), widened the slabs, and raised the 87A rebate threshold to ₹12L (from ₹7L) — the difference in computed tax is what changed for you specifically, not just the headline "no tax up to ₹12L" claim.

Frequently asked questions

Did everyone benefit equally from the FY 2025-26 changes?

No — the biggest relief landed on incomes near the new ₹12L rebate threshold, where tax went from a meaningful amount to zero. Higher incomes above the rebate range still benefit from the wider slabs and higher standard deduction, but by a smaller proportion of their total tax.

Does this affect the old regime too?

No, the FY 2025-26 Budget changes were new-regime-only. Old regime slabs, the ₹50,000 standard deduction, and the ₹5L/₹12,500 87A rebate threshold are unchanged, which further widens the gap in favour of the new regime for most taxpayers.
