How It Works
House Rent Allowance (HRA) is one of the most valuable tax-saving components in an Indian salary slip, yet it is also one of the most misunderstood. Many salaried employees either under-claim or over-claim their exemption, leading to unexpected tax demands or missed savings.
The HRA exemption is the minimum of three values: the actual HRA received from your employer, the rent you paid minus 10% of your basic salary, or 50% of your basic salary if you live in a metro city (40% for non-metro). Our tool extracts these figures directly from your uploaded salary slip PDF and calculates the correct exemption instantly.
Your salary slip is a sensitive document. We use WebAssembly to process it entirely in your browser — the file never leaves your device, and no data is stored on our servers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is HRA fully tax exempt?
No. The exemption is the lowest of three values: actual HRA received, rent paid minus 10% of basic salary, or 50%/40% of basic salary (metro/non-metro). Only this minimum amount is exempt.
What documents do I need to claim HRA exemption?
Rent receipts, a rental agreement, and the PAN of your landlord if annual rent exceeds ₹1 lakh are required to claim HRA exemption.
Can I claim HRA if I live with my parents?
Yes, if you pay rent to them and have documented proof of payment. This can attract scrutiny from the IT department, so ensure the payment trail is clear.
