Estimate tax deducted at source, compare it with your final slab tax, and see whether you may have extra tax payable or a refund.
TDS reduces cash flow now, but final tax depends on your return, other income, deductions, and regime choice.

This is a planning estimate for common TDS cases. Actual deduction can differ by payer type, treaty, lower-deduction certificate, surcharge, and current tax law.
TDS is not a separate tax. It is tax collected in advance by the payer and credited against your PAN, so the final position is known only after you compute total income and file the return.
For FD and RD interest, the practical questions are threshold, PAN status, senior citizen limit, and Form 15G/15H eligibility. A 10% deduction can still be too low for someone in a 20% or 30% slab.
Always reconcile the TDS shown here with Form 26AS, AIS, bank certificates, and your income tax computation before filing.
For this calculator, bank FD interest is checked against the current planning thresholds used from FY 2025-26: Rs 50,000 for regular depositors and Rs 1,00,000 for senior citizens. Verify the applicable year and bank category before filing.
No. FD interest is added to your total income and taxed at your slab rate. TDS is only an advance tax credit; you may still have extra tax payable or a refund.
Banks generally deduct TDS at a higher rate when PAN is not available. This calculator uses 20% without PAN and 10% with PAN for FD interest planning.
A valid Form 15G or Form 15H can prevent TDS when your tax conditions allow it. Do not submit the declaration if your final tax liability is not nil.
Splitting deposits may reduce deduction by a particular bank, but it does not remove tax liability. Interest still appears in AIS/Form 26AS and must be reported in the ITR.
