Q What is TDS? How to calculate the monthly TDS in 2024?

Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is a mechanism whereby the tax is deducted directly at the point of origin of income and deposited to the government. It enables speedy collection of taxes. By claiming tax deductions, you can claim this tax paid as a credit while filing your income tax return. In the case of salary income, it is your employer's responsibility to deduct the TDS and deposit it to the government.

For the purpose of calculating the monthly TDS amount, just calculate your taxes from the above calculator and divide it by 12. You will get your monthly TDS amount.

For example: From the above Income Tax calculator, the total tax has been computed at Rs. 60,000, and now, for the purpose of monthly TDS, we shall divide Rs. 60,000 by 12. Hence, the monthly TDS shall be Rs.5,000.
