HRA Calculator India turns your basic salary + DA, annual, HRA received, annual, annual rent paid and city type into the exempt and taxable HRA using the least of HRA received, rent − 10% of salary, and metro 50% / non-metro 40% of basic. The maths runs locally, so nothing you enter leaves the page.
Estimate only — not tax advice. Your HRA exemption depends on the actual rent paid, your basic salary, the city (metro or non-metro) and current rules, which change by year. Verify with a qualified tax professional before relying on these results.

Worked example
With ₹40,000 basic, ₹20,000 HRA received and ₹18,000 rent (metro): the exemption is the least of 20,000, (18,000 − 4,000) = 14,000, and 50% × 40,000 = 20,000, so ₹14,000.
FAQ

It is the least of three figures: actual HRA received, 50 percent of basic for metros (40 percent otherwise), and rent paid minus 10 percent of basic.
Does the HRA calculator india save my salary details?
No. The HRA calculator india runs in your browser only; your salary and rent figures are never uploaded or stored.
Which cities count as metro?
For HRA, only Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai are treated as metros at 50 percent; all other cities use 40 percent.
Is HRA exemption available in the new tax regime?
No. The HRA exemption applies under the old regime. If you opt for the new regime, salary HRA is generally fully taxable.
