How it is calculated

Monthly PT = amount fixed by your state's slab for your monthly salary. Annual PT = sum of monthly amounts (with any special-month amount), limited to the annual cap of ₹2,500 under Article 276(2) of the Constitution.

Worked example

If your state slab gives ₹200 a month for salary of ₹40,000, the annual PT is 12 × ₹200 = ₹2,400, within the ₹2,500 cap. If the state slab gives ₹200 for 11 months and ₹300 for February, the total is ₹2,500.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the calculator not list every state?

Slabs change by state notification and are easy to get wrong. Rather than show possibly outdated figures, the calculator lets you enter the slab from your state's official source.

Who pays professional tax?

The employer deducts it from salary and deposits it with the state; self-employed professionals and businesses may have to register and pay on their own in many states.

Can PT be claimed as a deduction?

Under the old tax regime it is deductible from salary income. It is not deductible under the new regime.
