✓ New Regime Recommended: Save ₹60,060/year

At ₹1 crore, a 10% surcharge applies (15% only kicks in above ₹1 crore taxable income). The new regime wins for most high earners thanks to lower base rates and a correspondingly lower surcharge.

At ₹1,00,00,000 gross, new-regime tax is ₹29,25,780 and old-regime tax is ₹29,85,840

At a gross annual salary of ₹1.00 Cr, your tax liability depends on which regime you choose and the deductions you can claim. Under the new regime, your effective tax rate is 29.3%, giving you a monthly take-home of ₹5.90 L.

Above the ₹12 lakh rebate, the new regime bills ₹29,25,780 at 29.3% effective

  • Standard deduction: ₹75,000 (new) or ₹50,000 (old): automatically applied
  • No 87A rebate under new regime: taxable income exceeds ₹12 lakh threshold
  • New regime is simpler: no investment proofs or paperwork needed
  • 4% Health & Education Cess applies on top of computed tax

From ₹1,00,00,000 gross, the new regime's ₹75,000 standard deduction leaves ₹99,25,000 taxable

  1. Start with gross salary: ₹1.00 Cr
  2. Subtract standard deduction (₹75K new / ₹50K old) + other deductions (old only)
  3. Apply progressive tax slabs to taxable income
  4. Check if Section 87A rebate applies (taxable ≤ ₹12L new / ₹5L old)
  5. Add 4% cess on final tax amount
