TDS Calculator

The TDS Calculator tells you how much tax to deduct at source when you pay a contractor, professional, landlord or other party, when to deposit it and in which return it goes.

Where to find it: Other Tools ▾ → TDS Calculator

Enter the payment

1. Nature of payment (section): for example 194C contractor, 194J professional or technical fees, 194H commission, 194I rent, 194A interest, 194Q purchase of goods or 195 payment to a non-resident. A note below explains the section’s limit.
2. Who is being paid: Individual / HUF, Company / Firm / LLP, or Non-resident.
3. PAN given?: Yes, No (a higher rate applies), or Yes but a non-filer.
4. This payment and Already paid this year to this party — used to check the single-bill and yearly limits.
5. Payment / credit date.
6. Amount includes GST? If the bill shows GST separately, choose Yes and pick the GST rate; TDS is then worked out on the value before GST.

Under Fine tuning you can type your own rate if you hold a lower or nil deduction certificate, and the date the TDS was actually deposited to see the interest for late deposit.

Read the result

• TDS to deduct and the rate used, the amount it was worked out on, and the net payable to the party.
• Deposit by — the due date to deposit the TDS, and Return & due date — the quarter and the due date of the TDS return (Form 26Q, 27Q and so on).
• Late interest if the deposit date is after the due date.
• How it was worked out lists each step, and a message says whether TDS is due and why. If the payment is under the limit, it says no TDS is due.
