Calculation Methodology

Last Updated: March 10, 2026

This page explains how each calculator on CalcGST.com computes outputs, which assumptions are used, and how results are rounded for display.

1) GST Calculator

Add GST (exclusive base amount)

GST Amount = Base Amount x GST Rate / 100
Final Amount = Base Amount + GST Amount

Remove GST (inclusive amount)

Base Amount = Final Amount / (1 + GST Rate / 100)
GST Amount = Final Amount - Base Amount

CGST and SGST split is shown as 50/50 of the total GST amount for intra-state representation.

2) EMI and Loan Calculators

EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N - 1]

Total repayment and total interest are then derived from EMI x N and subtraction from principal.

3) Salary Calculator

4) Income Tax Calculator

The tool compares configured old-vs-new regime slab logic currently implemented in the page script. It includes cess and deduction caps as coded.

Important: Tax outcomes depend on legal updates, exemptions, and taxpayer-specific facts. Use this output as guidance only and verify before filing.
