How this calculator works
Freelancers and self-employed professionals must pay advance tax in 4 instalments if their tax liability exceeds ₹10,000/year. Under Section 44ADA (Presumptive Taxation), professionals with income up to ₹75L can declare 50% of gross receipts as income and skip detailed bookkeeping.
Tax under 44ADA = Tax on 50% of gross receipts | Advance tax due: Jun 15%, Sep 45%, Dec 75%, Mar 100%
