About this calculator
Add your billable line items, apply a discount if needed, and this works out the GST-inclusive invoice total - then subtracts any TDS your client will deduct, so you know the actual amount that will land in your account.
Frequently asked questions
Why is TDS deducted from the taxable amount, not the total?
Under Indian tax rules, TDS on professional/contract fees is calculated on the invoice value before GST - so it's deducted from your taxable amount (subtotal minus discount), not from the GST-inclusive total.
What TDS rate should freelancers use?
Section 194J (professional/technical services) is typically 10%. Section 194C (contract work) is 1% for individuals or 2% for companies. Check which applies to your engagement, or select 'None' if your client doesn't deduct TDS.
Do I need to charge GST?
Only if you're GST-registered. If your annual turnover is below the registration threshold, you can leave GST at 0%.
