HOW TO CALCULATE TDS ON SALARY

As we know that till ₹2.5Lac, there is no tax
Suppose an employee whom salary is ₹2.45 then we know there will not be any kind of tax on it
And if salary is –
₹2.50-3Lac then we subtract 2.50 from 3Lac then the difference will be 50000
So we use formula
50000*5/100=2500 and 2500₹ is given a rebate to employees by the government so till ₹3Lac there will not be any charge
If salary is-
₹3Lac-5Lac then calculation)- 5Lac – 2Lac= 3Lac
300000*5/100= 15000, so the employee will have to pay ₹15000 as a tax in terms of TDS
If salary is-
₹5Lac-8Lac then calculation-
8Lac-5Lac= 3Lac
First, calculate from ₹2.50Lac-5Lac
It will be above given same formula amount will be –
250000*5/100= 12500
Then calculate from 5Lac-8Lac
So 300000*20/100= 60000
So the total tax will be – 12500+60000= 72500₹
