DISCLAIMER

This tax calculator can be used to calculate the approximate tax payable by salaried individuals. This should NOT be
used to compute the actual taxes to be paid to the Government. The author is not resposible for any inaccuracies in the
tax computed by this calculator. If you find any inconsistency, please let me know and I will try to fix it at the earliest

PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

1 This sheet can be used to compute the tax for salaried individuals only
2 Enter the numbers only in the yellow-colored cells. You will not be able to enter data in other cells
3 Do not leave any yellow cell (that expects numbers) blank. This may lead to incorrect calculation. Instead, enter 0
4 The darker yellow colored cells (with green text) constitute the setup parameters, which you may have to set only once. Ensure that all setup
parameters in cells C4 to C20 and AA51 to AA73 are setup prior to using the calculator

5 Depending on your company policy, change cells C4 to C20 to select elements of your salary that count towards calculation of PF
6 If you are in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata or Chennai, change the location to Metro in Cell AA51. If you have moved from a metro to non-metro or
vice-versa during the year, change the cells D47 to O47

7 Enter the PF deduction percentage in cell AA54 depending on your company policy. In addition, if your company limits the PF to a certain
amount, enter that amount in cell AA55. If there is no PF deduction, enter 0% in cell AA54. If the PF percentage changes during the year (due
to change in employer or otherwise), change cells D48 to O48

8 If you have opted for VPF (Voluntary Provident Fund), change cell AA58 depending on whether the deduction is done as a percentage of salary
or as a fixed amount. If percentage, enter percentage in cell AA56. This will apply same percentage throughout the year. If percentage
changes month to month, enter the percentage for each month in cells D43 to O43 (If you leave any of these cells at 0, the default
percentage from cell AA56 will be taken for that month). If the deduction is a fixed amount, enter the amount for each month in cells D43 to
O43

9 If the interest rate on PF is other than 8.5%, change the value in cell AA57

13 If any of your dependents have severe (>80%) permanent physical disability, change cell AA65
14 If you have a permanent physical disability, change cell AA66 and AA67
15 If you are above 65 years of age, change cell AA68. You will get additional exemption
16 If you are a woman, remember to change cell AA69. You will get additional exemption

population (as per 2001 census), 10% for cities with population of 15 lacs to 25 lacs, and 7.5% for other cities. If rent has been paid (cells D26
to O26), the same will be deducted from this perks amount

18 If you are using company provided car for both official and personal use, update cells D44 to O44. If the company also provides driver, update
cells D45 to O45. If company bears the running and maintenance expenses for the car, update cell AA72. Also update the size of the car in
cell AA73 (in terms of engine cubic capacity)
