In Microsoft Excel, you can easily create tax calculator to compute your monthly or yearly tax liability for salaried individuals by using incremental taxation system (tax rate increases with the increase in amount of income) or periodic tax slab and Excel IF functions.

To create Tax calculator, you need to take below mentioned steps:

Step 1. First step is to prepare the format of tax calculator as mentioned below:

Step 2. Now insert below mentioned formula in cell "D21" to calculate taxable income.

=IF(D19<B6,0,IF(D19<B7,(D19-C5)*0.05,IF(D19<B8,(D19-C6)*0.1+30000,IF(D19<B9,(D19-C7)*0.15+90000,IF(D19<B10,(D19-C8)*0.175+195000,IF(D19<B11,(D19-C9)*0.2+370000,IF(D19<B12,(D19-C10)*0.225+670000,IF(D19<B13,(D19-C11)*0.25+1345000,IF(D19<B14,(D19-C12)*0.275+2345000,IF(D19<B15,(D19-C13)*0.3+7295000,IF(D19<B16,(D19-C14)*0.325+13295000,(D19-C15)*0.35+21420000)))))))))))

Step 3. To calculate Monthly Tax Liability, Please insert below mentioned formula in cell "D20" to divide Yearly Tax Liability into 12:

=+D21/12

Step 4. To calculate Yearly Taxable Income, Please insert below mentioned formula in cell "D19" to multiply Monthly Taxable Income by 12:

=+D18*12

Step 5. You can also insert comment for your assistance, as mentioned in below snapshot:
