1. What is Monthly Income Tax?

Monthly income tax is the amount of tax you pay each month, calculated by dividing your annual tax liability by 12 months. This provides a consistent payment schedule throughout the year.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Annual\_tax \) — Your total tax liability for the year
• 12 — Number of months in a year

Explanation: This calculation evenly distributes your annual tax burden across all 12 months of the year.
