Rent Deduction Calculator (HRA / 80GG)

Tip: Choose HRA Exemption if your salary includes HRA. If not receiving HRA, select 80GG (for rent deduction under old regime).

🧮 How Rent Deduction is Calculated

HRA Exemption (Section 10(13A)):
  • Actual HRA received
  • Rent paid – 10% of salary (basic + DA)
  • 50% of salary if metro, 40% if non‑metro
Section 80GG (No HRA):
  • ₹5,000 per month
  • 25% of total annual income
  • Actual rent – 10% of income
  • Lowest of these is allowed

⚠️ Important Notes
