Professional Tax (PT) is a state-levied tax on salaried employees and self-employed professionals in India, deducted directly from salary or paid by registration, and capped constitutionally at ₹2,500 per year — yet the actual slab, whether it's charged monthly, half-yearly, or annually, and whether it applies at all, varies considerably from state to state. The Professional Tax Calculator automatically loads the correct state-wise slab, computes Employee, Employer and Self-Employed liability, checks common exemptions, and compares two states side by side — instantly, in your browser, with nothing ever uploaded.
Twelve states with well-documented current slabs are built in — Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Kerala, Assam, Bihar, Odisha and Madhya Pradesh — each modelled with its actual billing cadence (most states monthly, Tamil Nadu and Kerala half-yearly, Bihar annually based on total annual income) and, where applicable, the higher February instalment several states use to reach the exact ₹2,500 annual cap. States where PT genuinely doesn't apply (Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana) show that clearly, and states this calculator doesn't yet have a verified current slab for (Tripura, Meghalaya, Sikkim, Puducherry) are disclosed honestly rather than showing a fabricated number.
Enter employee and employer names, state, employment type, category, gender, age, financial year and salary frequency, along with a full salary breakdown — Basic, HRA, DA, Conveyance, Medical, Special Allowance, Bonus, Incentives, Overtime and Other Earnings — which combine automatically into your Gross Salary.
Monthly PT, Annual PT, Salary After PT, Annual Salary, Monthly Deduction, Total Deduction and Effective Deduction % all update instantly as you type, with the exact slab and rule applied shown transparently.
Add each employee's monthly salary to estimate total monthly and annual Professional Tax liability across your whole workforce for the selected state.
Registered self-employed professionals are estimated at the state's statutory annual cap as a reasonable approximation, since most states charge a flat annual enrolment amount for professionals rather than a salary-based slab.
Tick Senior Citizen, Armed Forces, Parent of a Disabled Child, Disabled Person, or a State-Specific Exemption, and the calculator flags Professional Tax as ₹0 with the specific reason and applicable rule.
Select any two states to see Monthly PT, Annual PT, the exact difference, and each state's applicable rule side by side — useful when comparing job offers across states or planning a multi-state payroll.

Every calculation runs entirely inside your browser. No salary figure, employee name, or employer name is ever uploaded to a server, and the tool works offline once loaded.
