TDS Calculator (India)
Tax deducted at source by section — professional fees, contractor, rent, commission — with the threshold and net payable.
Formula
TDS is withholding, not a final tax — the deductee claims it against their liability via Form 26AS. No PAN triggers §206AA's 20% (or higher) rate, and non-filers can attract §206AB's doubled rate. Deposit by the 7th of the next month and file the quarterly TDS return or face §201 interest.
Thresholds and rates vary by section and year — not tax advice. Not financial advice — for informational and analytical use only. Verify all figures with a qualified professional before acting on them.
Disclaimer: This tool is for general informational and estimation purposes only and is not professional financial, tax, accounting or legal advice. All figures are estimates — verify with a qualified professional before making decisions. Read the full disclaimer.
