TopToolAIIndia HRA Exemption Calculator
Calculate how much of your HRA (House Rent Allowance) is tax-exempt in India, based on your salary, rent paid, and city of residence. On a basic salary of ₹40,000 a month paying ₹15,000 in rent in a metro city, the exempt amount is the lowest of three limits — actual HRA received, rent paid minus 10% of salary, or 50% of salary for metro cities — and the calculator applies all three automatically.
