When we calculate Income tax, we must also know about how Tax Deducted at Source or TDS is calculated.
When you are calculating TDS, you must calculate your annual salary and you need to deduct various exemptions and deductions, that will lower your taxable income. Other than this you must also calculate the amount spent on travel and house rent. Here, the rent amount can be calculated according to the rent agreement. Other expenses like medical expenses, travel expenses can be calculated on the basis of the past year’s expenses.
