How this Professional Tax Calculator works
Professional tax is a state levy on professions, trades, and employment with slabbed monthly amounts. Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Gujarat each publish different brackets — this tool uses simplified monthly illustrations, not live gazette data.
How to use
- Select the state where the employee is liable for PT.
- Enter gross or PT-applicable monthly salary per your policy.
- Read the illustrative PT deduction for that state band.
- Confirm exact slab, registration, and payment calendar with state rules.
