TDS Calculator

The TDS Calculator is an online interface that helps you calculate the exact amount of tax to be deducted at source based on the type of payment, the recipient's category, and other relevant factors. Whether you’re an employer, a financial institution, or an individual responsible for deducting TDS, this calculator eases the process by providing quick and accurate results.

Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) Overview

Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is a mechanism used by the Indian government to collect tax directly from the source of income. It applies to various types of payments, including salaries, interest, rent, and professional fees. The payer deducts tax at a prescribed rate and remits it to the government on behalf of the recipient. This system ensures timely tax collection and minimises the chances of tax evasion.

How Does TDS Calculator Help You?

The TDS Calculator assists you in determining the exact amount of tax that needs to be deducted at source for various types of payments. By entering details like the recipient's category (Individual/HUF/Sole Proprietor or Others), the availability of the recipient's PAN, and the nature of the payment, the calculator quickly computes the TDS amount. This helps ensure that the correct tax is deducted according to the applicable tax laws and rates, thereby streamlining the process and reducing the risk of errors in tax deduction.

Formula to Calculate TDS

The TDS calculation involves the following formulas:

• Rate of Average Income Tax:

Rate of Average Income Tax = Income Tax Payable (computed with slab rates) / Estimated Income for the financial year

• TDS Amount:

TDS Amount = (Payment Amount − Threshold Limit) × (TDS Rate / 100)

• Net Payment:

Net Payment = Payment Amount − TDS Amount

These formulas help determine the exact TDS amount and the net payment to the recipient after tax deduction.

Example Calculation for TDS

Suppose you are paying professional fees of ₹1,50,000 to an individual consultant. The TDS rate applicable for professional fees is 10%. The recipient has provided their PAN.

Steps

1. Payment Amount: ₹1,50,000
2. Threshold Limit for TDS: ₹30,000 (for professional fees)
3. TDS Rate: 10%

Calculation

1. Amount exceeding threshold:

₹1,50,000 − ₹30,000 = ₹1,20,000

2. TDS Amount:

₹1,20,000 × (10/100) = ₹12,000

3. Net Payment:

₹1,50,000 − ₹12,000 = ₹1,38,000

Result

1. Amount to be Deducted in TDS: ₹12,000
2. Net Payment to Consultant: ₹1,38,000
