How the windfall tax is calculated
The tax is a flat 25% of the gross prize, rounded to the nearest rupee — there's no tax-free threshold or slab structure like with salary income. For the daily prize of NPR 1,33,334, the tax works out to about NPR 33,334, leaving a net NPR 1,00,000. For the fortnightly bumper of NPR 10,00,000, the tax is NPR 2,50,000, leaving a net NPR 7,50,000.
This calculator is an estimate for convenience. IRD may deduct tax at source before disbursing your prize — confirm the exact amount with your official prize voucher or IRD.
