About the Advance Tax Calculator
If your tax after TDS is ₹10,000 or more, you must pay it during the year in instalments: 15% by 15 June, 45% by 15 September, 75% by 15 December and 100% by 15 March. Presumptive-scheme taxpayers pay all of it by 15 March. Resident senior citizens without business income are exempt.
The formula
Instalment = net tax × cumulative % − already paid
Worked example
Example: Advance tax payable = ₹1,65,000
- Inputs: Estimated total tax for the year: ₹2,20,000; TDS / TCS already deducted: ₹55,000; Presumptive business income (44AD/44ADA): No.
- Formula: Instalment = net tax × cumulative % − already paid
