This advance tax calculator tells you whether you need to pay advance tax for FY 2026-27, how much is due by each of the four dates, and the interest if an instalment was missed or short. Start with your estimated tax for the whole year; if you do not know it, work it out first with our regime calculator.
Step 1
Your tax for the year
On all income: salary, interest, rent, business, capital gains.
Salary TDS, TDS on interest or rent, TCS on foreign remittances.
Step 2 (optional)
What you have already paid
Enter the advance tax paid by each date (cumulative is not needed; enter each payment). Leave as 0 to just see the schedule.

How this calculator works
Advance tax is due if your tax for the year, after TDS and TCS, is ₹10,000 or more. It is paid in four instalments:
| Due by | Cumulative share of the year's tax |
|---|---|
| 15 June | 15% |
| 15 September | 45% |
| 15 December | 75% |
| 15 March | 100% |
- Presumptive business or profession (the 44AD/44ADA schemes): the whole amount by 15 March in one go.
- Senior citizens (60+) with no business or professional income need not pay advance tax.
- Interest for late instalments: 1% a month for three months on the shortfall at June, September and December (no interest if you paid at least 12% by June and 36% by September), and 1% on the shortfall at March.
- Interest after the year: if you paid less than 90% of the tax by 31 March, 1% a month on the unpaid tax from April until you pay.
