🧾 Cut my tax bill
Find every deduction, credit, and regime choice that applies to you — then run the numbers side-by-side to see what actually saves the most.
Your 4-step plan
Work through these in order. Each step links to the calculator you need.
- 1
Run the regime comparison
In most countries there's a choice (new vs old, marginal vs flat, standard vs itemised). Run both — the difference can be 5–15%.
- 2
Max retirement contributions
These are pre-tax almost everywhere. Every extra ₹1 / $1 into them lowers taxable income.
- 3
Claim the usual suspects
Rent (HRA), mortgage interest, charity, work-from-home, professional fees, medical insurance. Run through each.
- 4
File early
Refunds are bigger and faster. Notices come if you wait.
