HRA exemption calculator

Calculate how much of your house rent allowance is exempt from tax under the old tax regime.

How it works

The exempt HRA is the lowest of three amounts: the HRA you actually receive, rent paid minus 10% of basic salary plus DA, and 50% of basic plus DA in a metro city or 40% elsewhere.

Questions people ask

Can I claim HRA under the new regime?

No. The HRA exemption is only available under the old tax regime.

Which cities count as metro?

Check the list in the current income tax rules, as it decides whether 50% or 40% of basic salary applies.
