LRS Calculator
Understand a planned overseas property remittance against the applicable LRS framework and estimate TCS exposure. This is an educational calculator, not tax or legal advice.
Estimate
- Total planned LRS usage this financial year
- USD 100,000
- Remaining LRS capacity before this remittance
- USD 250,000
- Remaining LRS capacity after this remittance
- USD 150,000
- INR amountsEnter an INR per USD rate to see INR and TCS estimates.

Within the annual LRS limit.
How this is calculated
Remaining LRS capacity is the annual limit less the LRS already used in the current financial year.
Prior and planned remittances are converted to INR at the rate you enter. The amount crossing the threshold is calculated as max(0, combined − threshold) − max(0, prior − threshold), and 20% of that crossing amount is shown as estimated TCS.
Estimated only. Your authorised dealer/bank and tax adviser should confirm the applicable treatment for your circumstances.
Assumptions
- Annual LRS limit of USD 250,000 for a resident individual.
- TCS threshold of ₹10,00,000 of LRS remittances in a financial year, with 20% applying to the amount above that threshold for purposes other than education or medical treatment.
- TCS is applied only to the incremental amount that crosses the threshold, not to the whole remittance.
- A single exchange rate is applied to both prior and planned remittances.
- TCS is a tax collection mechanism, not a final tax liability.
