FAQ
Questions around old vs new regime comparison.
Does this use the current financial year?
Yes. The tool is now framed for the current FY 2026-27, which the Department also refers to as Tax Year 2026-27 under the new Act transition.
Does it handle capital gains and special rates?
No. It is designed for normal-rate income planning and does not separately calculate special-rate income items like capital gains.
Why can old regime still win sometimes?
Because higher deductions, exemptions, home loan interest and rent-related benefits can still make the old regime better for some taxpayers.
