For example- “Let’s assume the Gross salary of an individual is Rs 10 lakh after deducting allowances exempted under both regimes. Further, this individual is investing Rs 1.5 lakh under Section 80C and paying an interest amount of Rs 2 lakh for a self-occupied property. The calculator shows that this individual will have a tax liability of Rs 33,800 under the old regime and Rs 54,600 under the New Regime. Thus, the Old Regime will provide this individual with a tax saving of Rs 20,800. For more clarity, you can use the following Income Tax Calculator,” mentioned by financial express.
