What is Prize Bond Tax Deduction?
Prize bond prizes are often paid after deducting withholding tax. This means the amount you receive can be lower than the headline prize value. A tax deduction estimate helps you understand the difference between the gross prize and the net prize (after tax).

Filer vs Non-Filer Tax Rates
Why the Net Prize Changes
Your filer status affects the withholding tax rate. A higher tax rate results in a lower net prize. Use the calculator to compare the difference quickly.
Quick Examples
Example: Rs 40,000 (1st Prize) as Filer
Gross: Rs 80,000,000 → Tax (15%): Rs 12,000,000 → Net: Rs 68,000,000
Example: Rs 25,000 (2nd Prize) as Non-Filer
Gross: Rs 10,000,000 → Tax (30%): Rs 3,000,000 → Net: Rs 7,000,000
Why Tax Is Deducted From Prize Bond Winnings
Prize bond prizes are generally paid after applying withholding tax rules. This deduction is calculated on the prize amount before you receive payment, which is why the amount credited or paid to you can be lower than the announced prize value. Understanding the expected deduction helps you plan better, especially when comparing filer and non-filer outcomes. Many people search for a quick way to calculate “how much tax will be deducted from my prize bond prize,” and that is exactly what this calculator is designed to do.
The purpose of adding this explanation is simple: it clarifies that the calculator is giving you an estimate of tax deduction and your net prize after tax based on the prize category you select. If you want the most accurate estimate, always make sure your filer status is correct before calculating.
