HRA Calculator







HRA Exemption Calculator

  • If you’re a salaried individual, you can claim House Rent Allowance (HRA) to meet your rented accommodation-related expenses. Salaried individuals who live in a rented house can claim this exemption and bring down their taxes.HRA can be fully or partially exempt from tax. Our HRA exemption calculator will help you calculate what portion of the HRA you receive from your employer is exempt from tax and how much is taxable.

  • If you don’t live in a rented accommodation but still get house rent allowance, the allowance will be fully taxable.
