1. What Is Advance Tax?

Advance tax refers to the system of paying tax on estimated income in installments throughout the financial year, rather than as a single payment at year-end. It helps governments maintain consistent revenue flow and taxpayers manage their tax liabilities.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the advance tax formula:

\[ \text{Advance Tax} = (\text{Income} \times \text{Tax Rate} - \text{Deductions}) \times \text{Installment \%} \]

Where:

\( \text{Income} \) — Total estimated income for the period
\( \text{Tax Rate} \) — Applicable tax rate percentage
\( \text{Deductions} \) — Allowable deductions from tax liability
\( \text{Installment \%} \) — Percentage of tax payable in current installment

Explanation: The calculation first determines total tax liability, subtracts allowable deductions, then calculates the portion payable as advance tax based on the installment schedule.

3. Importance Of Advance Tax Calculation

Details: Accurate advance tax calculation helps avoid penalties for underpayment, ensures compliance with tax regulations, and assists in proper financial planning throughout the tax year.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter income and deductions in currency units, tax rate and installment percentage as percentages. All values must be non-negative numbers.
