TDS Calculator
Estimate TDS on various payments. Pick the section, enter amount, and see the deduction instantly.
How to Use TDS Calculator
- Pick the TDS section. Use the dropdown to select the applicable section — 194A for interest, 194C for contractors, 194H for commission, 194I for rent, 194J for professional fees, or 192A for EPF withdrawal.
- Enter the payment amount. Type the gross amount of the transaction or income. The tool checks it against the section’s threshold limit.
- Confirm PAN status. Toggle whether you have furnished your PAN. Without PAN, the TDS rate jumps to 20% regardless of the section rate.
- Click Calculate. The calculator displays the TDS deducted and the net amount you receive. If the amount is below the threshold, TDS is shown as zero with a clear note.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I don't provide my PAN to the deductor?
Under Section 206AA, TDS is deducted at the higher of 20%, the rate in force, or the prescribed rate. This can mean a 20% cut instead of 1‑2%, so always ensure your PAN is on file.
Is TDS deducted if the amount is below the threshold?
No. Each section has a threshold exemption — for example, ₹50,000 for bank interest under 194A for non‑seniors. If the payment is below that limit, no TDS is deducted.
Can I claim TDS back if I have no taxable income?
Yes, you can file an income tax return and claim a refund of the TDS deducted. Submitting Form 15G or 15H beforehand can also prevent TDS deduction on interest income.
