At ₹7 LPA you pay zero income tax under the new regime: after the ₹75,000 standard deduction your taxable income is ₹5,83,000, and the Section 87A rebate wipes out all tax on taxable income up to ₹12 lakh. Your only deductions are provident fund and professional tax, so nearly all of your gross salary reaches your account.

FAQ
What is the in-hand salary for 7 LPA?
With the standard structure (basic 50% of CTC, PF both sides, ₹200/month professional tax, new-regime tax for FY 2026-27) a ₹7 lakh CTC leaves about ₹51,133 per month in hand — ₹6,13,600 a year after ₹42,000 PF, ₹2,400 professional tax and ₹0 income tax.
How much income tax do I pay on 7 LPA?
Nothing. After the ₹75,000 standard deduction your taxable income is ₹5,83,000, within the ₹12 lakh Section 87A rebate limit of the new regime, so your tax is nil.
Why is my actual in-hand different from this figure?
Company structures differ: your basic may be more or less than 50% of CTC, PF may be capped at ₹1,800/month, your state's professional tax may differ or be nil, and CTC often includes gratuity, insurance or variable pay that never lands in the monthly credit. Use the calculator above and adjust the PF and professional-tax inputs to your offer's actual structure.
Is the new or old tax regime better at this salary?
The new regime is the default and needs no investment proofs. The old regime can still win if you claim large deductions — full 80C, home-loan interest, high HRA. As a rule of thumb, below ₹13 lakh CTC the new regime's rebate is unbeatable; above that, compare both with your actual deductions before choosing.
