House Rent Allowance
HRA Exemption Calculator
Work out how much of your HRA is tax-exempt under the old tax regime.
Formula
Exemption = least of: HRA received; rent paid − 10% of basic; 50% of basic (metro) or 40% (non-metro).
About this calculator
HRA exemption is available only under the old tax regime, and only if you actually pay rent. Keep rent receipts and a rent agreement handy if your annual rent exceeds ₹1 lakh — landlord PAN becomes mandatory.
