Old vs New Regime Comparison
For ₹24,00,000 salary, the old regime in this page assumes only the standard deduction and no extra exemptions like HRA, 80C, or home-loan interest.

| Regime | Taxable Income | Estimated Tax |
|---|---|---|
| Old Regime | ₹23,50,000 | ₹5,38,200 |
| New Regime | ₹23,25,000 | ₹2,92,500 |
When the Old Regime Can Catch Up
At this salary band, the old regime usually needs around ₹7,88,000 of extra eligible deductions to become as attractive as the new regime.
That is why HRA, 80C, 80D, and home-loan interest matter more as your salary structure becomes more detailed.
- Use HRA if you live on rent and receive HRA in salary.
- Use 80C for EPF, ELSS, PPF, LIC, and principal repayment.
- Use 80D for health-insurance deductions.
- Use the main calculator when you want a more personalised comparison.
