Where the tax comes from
Taxable income is ₹17,33,800, which reaches the 20% slab. Every extra rupee is taxed at 20.8% including cess, while the effective rate on gross is 8.8%.
When the old regime wins
You would need at least ₹6,43,000 of old-regime deductions a year — 80C, HRA exemption, home loan interest, 80D combined — before the old regime pays more than the new. Below that, the new regime saves ₹2,00,367 a year.
Hike to the next rung
Reaching 20 LPA is a 5.3% hike and adds ₹5,883 a month in hand. Dropping to 18 LPA costs ₹5,883 a month. Check any percentage on the hike calculator.
19 LPA is taxed at 20% at the margin
Taxable income of ₹17,33,800 reaches the 20% slab, so each extra rupee loses 20.8% to tax and cess. Of the next ₹1 lakh of CTC you keep ₹70,598. The next step, where the 25% slab starts, comes at a CTC of about ₹21,80,000.
Employer NPS at 14% of basic (₹1,06,400 a year) saves ₹40,154 a year in tax. Because the contribution comes out of your CTC, monthly in hand changes by −₹5,520 a month, but the money lands in your retirement account instead of the tax department.
