Monthly PT = State slab lookup (monthly / half-yearly / annual); Annual PT = Monthly × 12 (with state-specific rules e.g. Maharashtra February)Configurable state-wise professional tax slabs for all 28 states and 8 UTs. Constitutional cap ₹2,500/year.
Professional tax is a state-level tax on employment, trade, and professions. Employers deduct it from salaried employees each month and remit it to the state government. Rates and slabs differ across states. The constitutional maximum is ₹2,500 per year. States like Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh do not levy professional tax on salaried employees.
For monthly-assessment states: match monthly salary to the applicable slab to get monthly PT; annual PT = monthly × 12 (Maharashtra: 11 × ₹200 + ₹300 in February). For half-yearly states (Tamil Nadu, Kerala): assess monthly salary × 6 against half-yearly slabs, divide by 6 for monthly PT, multiply half-yearly tax by 2 for annual. For annual-assessment states (Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh): assess monthly salary × 12 against annual slabs.
Under the Old Tax Regime, professional tax paid is deductible from salary income under Section 16(iii), up to ₹2,400 per year. Under the New Tax Regime, PT is not an income tax deduction but is still deducted from your salary by the employer, reducing take-home pay.
This calculator loads slab rules from a configurable database table per state/UT. Each state entry includes income slabs, tax amounts, assessment period (monthly, half-yearly, or annual), February override (Maharashtra), and annual cap. Rules can be updated without code changes when states revise professional tax rates.
Example 1 (Maharashtra): Salary ₹80,000/month → ₹200/month PT, ₹2,500/year (₹300 in Feb). | Example 2 (Karnataka): Salary ₹80,000 → ₹200/month, ₹2,400/year. | Example 3 (Delhi): Salary ₹80,000 → ₹0 PT (no levy). | Example 4 (West Bengal): Salary ₹80,000 → ₹200/month, ₹2,400/year. | Example 5 (Tamil Nadu): Salary ₹80,000 → half-yearly slab ₹1,250 → ~₹208/month, ₹2,500/year.
