Amounts entered are individual instalment payments, not cumulative totals. Interest is an illustrative legacy 234C calculation for income known throughout the year; capital-gain/unexpected-income exceptions, 234B, tax-year transitional numbering and special relief are excluded. Payment dates and rounding can affect a filing result.

Understand the calculation

What is an Advance Tax Planner?

See instalment targets and illustrative payment shortfalls. Illustrative legacy 234C interest only; special income-timing relief, 234B and filing-level rounding are outside scope.

Use the inputs that describe your actual situation. Change one assumption at a time, compare the results, and read the scope note alongside the number. The tool calculates a stated scenario; it does not decide whether an investment, policy or tax treatment is suitable for you.

Confirm actual costs, dates, eligible amounts and product terms from your records. Compare a conservative case and an adverse case rather than relying on the default inputs. A result can change substantially when return, tax, contribution or cost assumptions change.
