Smart HRA Exemption Calculator
House Rent Allowance (HRA) is one of the most powerful tax-saving components in an Indian salaried employee's paycheck. Our hra exemption calculator helps you determine exactly how much of your rent is shielded from taxes under Section 10(13A).

The "Least of Three" HRA Formula
According to the Income Tax Act, the tax-exempt portion of your HRA is the lowest of three specific calculations based on your salary, your rent, and your city of residence (Metro vs Non-Metro).
1. Actual HRA received from employer
2. 50% of Basic Salary (Metro) OR 40% of Basic Salary (Non-Metro)
3. Actual Rent Paid minus 10% of Basic Salary
How do I use this hra exemption calculator?
Enter your basic salary, the actual HRA you receive, and your monthly rent. Check the box if you live in a Metro city (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata). The calculator instantly applies the "Least of Three" rule to show your exact exempt and taxable HRA amounts.
