IRCTC Refund Calculator

The IRCTC Refund Calculator helps you estimate how much money you’ll actually get back before cancelling your ticket on IRCTC.

Just enter your ticket details like journey date, cancellation time, class, booking status, and total fare. The calculator instantly shows the expected refund amount based on official IRCTC refund rules.

This tool is especially useful because IRCTC refund charges change depending on:

• Time left before departure
• Ticket type (General or Tatkal)
• Booking status (Confirmed, RAC, Waiting List)
• Travel class

No guesswork. No confusion.

How IRCTC Refund Is Calculated?

IRCTC does not follow a flat refund rule. The deduction depends on when you cancel your ticket.

Here’s how it works in simple terms:

• More time before departure → higher refund
• Less time before departure → higher cancellation charges
• Tatkal tickets → very limited or no refund
• Waiting List tickets → mostly refunded after minimal charges

This calculator automatically applies the correct rule once you enter your details.
