HRA Exemption Calculator
Calculate the exact amount of your House Rent Allowance that is exempt from income tax.
HRA Exemption Rules
Under Section 10(13A) of the Income Tax Act, salaried individuals can claim an exemption on House Rent Allowance (HRA) if they reside in rented accommodation.
The Exemption is the minimum of 3 factors:
- The actual HRA received from your employer.
- The actual rent you paid minus 10% of your Basic salary (+DA).
- 50% of Basic salary for those living in Metro cities, or 40% for those in Non-Metro cities.
New Tax Regime Note
HRA Exemption is NOT available if you opt for the New Tax Regime according to recent Indian finance laws. You can only claim this if you declare under the Old Tax Regime.
