How these tools stay accurate

How we keep these accurate

Every calculator reads from a single versioned statutory configuration: tax slabs for both regimes, PF and ESI rates and ceilings, professional tax by state, the gratuity formula and ceiling, and HRA exemption rules, each with its effective date. Current version: FY 2026-27, effective from 2026-04-01. When any rate changes, or the Union Budget announces one, we refresh the configuration within 7 days, and every tool picks it up at once.

Frequently asked questions

Are these calculators free?

Yes, all four calculators are completely free, with no sign-up, no email gate and no limits on how often you use them. They run on the same calculation engines we use to process client payroll every month.

Which financial year do these calculators use?

All four calculators use FY 2026-27 rates: the income tax slabs for both regimes, PF (Provident Fund), ESI (Employees' State Insurance), professional tax by state and the gratuity ceiling. When a rate changes, we update the single statutory configuration behind every tool.

Do you store my inputs?

No, calculations run in your browser. The salary, rent and deduction figures you type are never sent to our servers, stored or shared. Close the tab and they are gone.

Can I rely on these numbers for filing or payroll?

The calculators are accurate for standard salaried cases and follow the statutory formulas exactly. For edge cases such as multiple employers, ESOPs or arrears, or before you file, have a professional check the working. That is the work we do daily, so ask us.

Want these numbers handled for you, every month?

The calculators show the working. Our payroll team owns it: salaries credited on the 1st, PF, ESI and TDS filed before due dates. Book a 30-minute scoping call.
