How is HRA Calculated in India?

As per income tax rules, HRA exemption is calculated based on your salary, rent paid, and the city you reside in. The exempted amount is the minimum of the following:

  • Actual HRA received
  • Rent paid minus 10% of basic salary
  • 50% of basic salary (metro) or 40% (non-metro)

This calculator uses these exact rules to compute your HRA exemption.
