Salary calculator for Ahmedabad
Gujarat charges ₹2,400 a year in professional tax, and Ahmedabad is outside the four HRA metros, so rent exemption is capped at 40% of basic.
Two things about your salary depend on where you work: the professional tax your state levies, and whether your city counts as a metro for the HRA exemption. Everything below is computed with Gujarat's rate and Ahmedabad's non-metro status for FY 2026-27.

HRA in Ahmedabad: the 40% ceiling
Ahmedabad is not a metro for Section 10(13A), so your exemption is capped at 40% of basic salary. On a 20 LPA CTC paying ₹3,00,000 annual rent, the exempt HRA computes to ₹2,20,000 under the old regime. The new regime does not allow this exemption at all — compare both regimes before deciding.
