How KITNA calculated this

Official rules: Income tax slabs, rebates, surcharge and cess for FY 2026-27. Budget 2026 made no slab changes. Updated Sep 2026.
Estimates: City living costs: Rent: Anarock (standard 2BHK, 1,000 sq ft, key localities; Magicbricks for Ahmedabad), projected to Sep 2026 at a 10%/yr growth assumption. Food, transport, bills and other costs: KITNA working assumptions, not yet sourced. Jaipur and Kochi rent not yet sourced. (Sep 2026). Professional tax is approximate.
Your inputs: Anything marked “You entered” comes straight from you.
Method: The destination keeps your household, lifestyle and a comparable home. Your rent is scaled by each city's typical rent level. Full methodology

These are estimates based on your inputs and the assumptions shown, not guaranteed outcomes. Verify tax figures against current rules before relying on them.
