Estimate Kerala take-home pay using India’s New Tax Regime (FY 2025-26 / AY 2026-27), including a simplified EPF employee contribution and professional tax estimate where applicable.
Kerala salaried employees typically see TDS under the New Tax Regime by default, plus EPF and sometimes professional tax.
Old Regime (with §80C) and surcharge above ₹50 lakh are supported as simplified estimates. Full HRA exemption math is still omitted — treat results as directional.
New Tax Regime (default)
Slabs start with nil tax up to ₹4 lakh of taxable income, then 5%–30% bands. A ₹75,000 standard deduction applies for salaried income. Section 87A can zero tax when taxable income is within the rebate limit; surcharge may apply above ₹50 lakh, then 4% cess.
EPF and professional tax
Employee EPF is estimated at 12% of an assumed basic (40% of gross) unless you enter exact pre-tax deductions. Professional tax is a simplified state estimate and may be ₹0 in some states/UTs.
Kerala note
Kerala salaried employees typically see TDS under the New Tax Regime by default, plus EPF and sometimes professional tax.
