What is a TDS Calculator?

A TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) calculator helps you estimate how much tax is deducted from an amount and how much remains as the net payable amount. It is useful for quick gross-up checks, invoice planning, and payment reconciliation.

How to Use the TDS Calculator

2. Enter the TDS rate as a percentage.
3. Choose whether the amount is TDS-exclusive or TDS-inclusive.
4. View the gross amount, TDS deduction, and net amount instantly.

TDS Calculation Formulas

For TDS Exclusive Amount:

• TDS Amount = Gross Amount × TDS Rate ÷ 100
• Net Amount = Gross Amount - TDS Amount

For TDS Inclusive Amount:

• Gross Amount = Net Amount ÷ (1 - TDS Rate ÷ 100)
• TDS Amount = Gross Amount - Net Amount

Example

Exclusive Case:

• Gross Amount = ₹50,000
• TDS Rate = 10%
• TDS Amount = ₹50,000 × 10% = ₹5,000
• Net Amount = ₹50,000 - ₹5,000 = ₹45,000

Inclusive Case:

• Net Amount = ₹45,000
• TDS Rate = 10%
• Gross Amount = ₹45,000 ÷ (1 - 10/100) = ₹50,000
• TDS Amount = ₹50,000 - ₹45,000 = ₹5,000

Benefits of Using a TDS Calculator

• Instant amount breakdown
• Useful for invoice and payment planning
• Helps compare gross and net amounts quickly
• Easy to use for exclusive and inclusive calculations
