6 Steps for Deduction of TDS on Salary Calculation in Excel

TDS, or Tax Deducted at Source, is an amount deducted when a specific payment is made, such as a wage, commission, lease, interest, professional fees, and so on. The person making the payment deducts tax at the source, whereas the individual receiving the payment/income must pay the tax. It reduces tax fraud because the taxes are collected at the moment of payment.
Here, I will explain the process of TDS deduction on salary calculation in Excel. For simplicity, I have divided the process into 6 easy steps.
Please note that the detailed breakdown of the allowances and deduced amounts are absent here because it varies from country to country.


Step 1: Calculate Yearly Salary

Let’s assume that the monthly salary of a person is Rs 70,000. Now, I will calculate the annual salary.

  • To do so, first, go to C8 and write down the following formula

To calculate it,

  • Go to C12 and write down the following formula
=IF(C6<60,IF(C11>1000000,(((C11-1000000)*0.3)+112500),IF(C11>500000,(((C11-500000)*0.2)+12500),IF(C11>250000,(C11-250000)*0.05,0))),IF(C6>79,IF(C11>1000000,(((C11-1000000)*0.3)+110000),IF(C11>500000,(((C11-500000)*0.2)+0),0)),IF(C11>1000000,(((C11-1000000)*0.3)+110000),IF(C11>500000,(((C11-500000)*0.2)+10000),IF(C11>300000,(C11-300000)*0.05,0)))))

Formula Explanation

  • The 1st logical test is C6<60 which is TRUE.
  • So the corresponding output is IF(C11>1000000,(((C11-1000000)*0.3)+112500),IF(C11>500000,(((C11-500000)*0.2)+12500),IF(C11>250000,(C11-250000)*0.05,0)))
  • The value of this output is 82100.
  • Then, press ENTER to get the output.
