About Form 16 Reconciliation Calculator

The employer's certificate covers only salary it processed. Income the employer never saw — interest, freelance receipts, capital gains — is taxed at your marginal rate on top, which is why a certificate almost never equals the final liability.

Formula

Reconciliation

Balance = tax on other income at the marginal rate, since salary tax is already deducted

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my return show tax due when tax was deducted?

Because the employer only accounted for salary. Other income carries its own tax.

What should the certificate be checked against?

The annual tax statement from the authority, which shows every deduction reported against your tax identification number.
