Calculate 4% Health & Education Cess instantly based on Income Tax and Surcharge under the latest Indian Income Tax Rules.
Health & Education Cess is levied at a flat 4% for every taxpayer type and both tax regimes — Taxpayer Type, Residential Status and Tax Regime are captured here for your record and report, and do not change the Cess rate itself.
Enter the Income Tax and Surcharge already computed for your total income (use the Income Tax Calculator and Surcharge Calculator if you need to work these out first).
These do not change the Cess calculation itself (Cess is always 4% of Income Tax + Surcharge) — they are netted off afterwards, together with taxes already paid, to arrive at your Net Tax Payable or Refund.

| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Income Tax | ₹9,00,000.00 |
| Surcharge (10%) | ₹90,000.00 |
| Tax Before Cess | ₹9,90,000.00 |
| Health & Education Cess (4%) | ₹39,600.00 |
| Total Tax Liability | ₹10,29,600.00 |
In this example, Income Tax of ₹9,00,000 plus Surcharge of ₹90,000 gives a Tax Before Cess of ₹9,90,000. Health & Education Cess at 4% adds ₹39,600, giving a Total Tax Liability of ₹10,29,600 — this exact scenario is pre-loaded into the calculator above for you to try.
यह टूल आपके Income Tax एवं Surcharge पर लागू 4% Health & Education Cess की सटीक गणना करके कुल Tax Liability तुरंत दिखाता है। | This tool accurately calculates the 4% Health & Education Cess applicable on your Income Tax and Surcharge and instantly displays your total tax liability.
Health & Education Cess, Income Tax अधिनियम के तहत हर taxpayer पर लगाया जाने वाला एक अतिरिक्त शुल्क है, जो शिक्षा और स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं को वित्तपोषित करने के लिए प्रयोग होता है। | Health & Education Cess is an additional charge levied on every taxpayer under the Income Tax Act, used to fund education and healthcare initiatives.
यह Cess हमेशा 4% की एक समान दर पर लगाया जाता है, चाहे taxpayer Individual हो, HUF हो, Firm हो, LLP हो, या Company — और चाहे कोई भी Tax Regime चुना गया हो। | This Cess is always levied at a uniform 4% rate, regardless of whether the taxpayer is an Individual, HUF, Firm, LLP or Company — and regardless of which Tax Regime is chosen.
गणना का सूत्र सीधा है: पहले Income Tax और Surcharge को जोड़कर Tax Before Cess निकाला जाता है, फिर उस राशि पर 4% Cess लगाया जाता है। | The computation formula is straightforward: first Income Tax and Surcharge are added together to arrive at Tax Before Cess, and then a 4% Cess is applied on that amount.
Total Tax Liability, Tax Before Cess और Health & Education Cess को जोड़कर प्राप्त होती है — यही राशि आपकी वास्तविक कुल कर देयता होती है। | Total Tax Liability is obtained by adding Tax Before Cess and Health & Education Cess together — this is your actual total tax obligation.
Rebate u/s 87A, Relief u/s 89 और MAT/AMT Credit, Cess की गणना को प्रभावित नहीं करते — ये सभी Advance Tax, TDS, TCS और Self Assessment Tax के साथ मिलकर अंत में Net Tax Payable निकालने के लिए घटाए जाते हैं। | Rebate u/s 87A, Relief u/s 89 and MAT/AMT Credit do not affect the Cess computation itself — they are all deducted, together with Advance Tax, TDS, TCS and Self Assessment Tax, only at the final step of arriving at your Net Tax Payable.
यदि पहले से भुगतान किया गया कर तथा उपलब्ध छूट/राहत, Total Tax Liability से अधिक हो जाए, तो अतिरिक्त राशि Refund के रूप में दिखाई जाती है। | If the tax already paid plus the available rebates and relief exceeds the Total Tax Liability, the excess amount is shown as a Refund.
यह कैलकुलेटर हर Financial Year के लिए Assessment Year को स्वतः भर देता है, ताकि आप सही वर्ष के लिए अपनी गणना का दस्तावेज़ीकरण कर सकें। | This calculator automatically fills in the Assessment Year for every Financial Year you select, so you can document your calculation against the correct year.
Health & Education Cess को Union Budget 2018 में पेश किया गया था, जिसने पहले की अलग-अलग Education Cess (2%) और Secondary and Higher Education Cess (1%) की जगह एक समान 4% Cess को अपनाया। | Health & Education Cess was introduced in the Union Budget 2018, replacing the earlier separate Education Cess (2%) and Secondary and Higher Education Cess (1%) with a single uniform 4% Cess.
Cess की राशि कभी भी आय स्तर के आधार पर स्लैब में नहीं बदलती — यह हमेशा Tax Before Cess पर एक सपाट 4% ही रहती है, चाहे Total Income कितनी भी अधिक क्यों न हो। | The Cess amount never changes in slabs based on income level — it always remains a flat 4% on Tax Before Cess, no matter how high the Total Income is.

हर गणना पूरी तरह आपके ब्राउज़र के भीतर होती है — कोई भी आय या कर संबंधी जानकारी कभी किसी सर्वर पर अपलोड नहीं की जाती, और यह टूल किसी भी AI-आधारित सुविधा का उपयोग नहीं करता। | Every calculation runs entirely within your browser — no income or tax-related data is ever uploaded to a server, and this tool does not use any AI-powered features.
