Can I use this calculator if I have deductions under section 80C?

Yes. Enter eligible section 80C amounts and other deductions in their respective fields. The calculator applies the old-regime deductions only to the old-regime estimate. Eligibility and limits depend on the applicable law and your circumstances.

Why might my actual tax differ from the estimate?
