Planning your money at 15 LPA
15 LPA is a comfortable mid-level income where surcharge is not a concern and your effective tax rate is still moderate. If you rent in a metro and claim HRA, or you have a home loan, the old regime starts to become competitive — but only if you genuinely use those deductions.
This is a common band for people increasing their SIP capacity for the first time. A useful habit is to direct part of every raise straight into investments before lifestyle inflation absorbs it, which keeps your savings rate climbing alongside your salary.
Deduction impact for 15 LPA
Deductions mostly affect old-regime taxable income. New regime can still win when lower slab rates outweigh the benefit of deductions, especially if your actual exemptions are limited.
