The calculator estimates your annual tax under the Income Tax Act 2025 and divides it into four equal installments due on 15 June, 15 September, 15 December, and 15 March. If your tax liability after Rebate 87A exceeds ₹10,000 in a year, advance tax is compulsory. Interest under section 234B applies for shortfalls.
